with his prizewinning colored pencil drawing - inwards the exhibition
It has been rattling exciting since I learned I won Best of Show. It is a dream come upwards truthful as well as i of the highest goals I had laid for my professional person career.

How long own got y'all been using coloured pencils? What exercise y'all similar nearly them? 

I own got been a high schoolhouse fine art instructor for the past times twenty years pedagogy mainly Drawing, Pottery, as well as Graphic Design as well as began seriously using colored pencils inwards 2006.

I've ever loved drawing every bit a medium, but colored pencil is my favorite because of the abundance of possibilities it allows. It also gives the creative individual such potential to create realism, which I've ever been interested in.

Which are your preferred brands as well as surfaces to move on - as well as which did y'all role for your prizewinning work? 

I role Prismacolor pencils on Canson Mi Tientes newspaper almost exclusively, although I late purchased Faber Castell Polychromos as well as then I'll live experimenting amongst those inwards the coming months.

"Stone Faced; Self Portrait" was done amongst Prismacolors on Mi Tientes paper.

How long did it convey y'all to exercise the move which won? 

It took me half-dozen months as well as to a greater extent than or less 150 hours to complete.

How long own got y'all been drawing rocks? 

I got into drawing rocks at the same fourth dimension every bit I discovered the potential of colored pencils. I was on the northward shore of Lake Superior, which has conk my sacred infinite inwards the final several years. I am fascinated past times the rocks in that location as well as the multifariousness of their shapes as well as sizes. I tin pass hours on the beach in that location simply looking at the rocks as well as taking inwards the repose the house offers. Much of my past times move uses rocks every bit dependent area matter.

Have y'all previously won whatever prizes? 

This was my eighth twelvemonth entering the CPSA Exhibition as well as my fifth twelvemonth getting accepted (so I also earned my v twelvemonth merit accolade this year).

The prize coin is incredible. I conception to invest some of it into my fine art (supplies, prints, a novel spider web site, things similar that). I'm also remodeling my bathroom, as well as then some of the coin volition conk towards that.

I own got won diverse awards at local shows this past times year, including showtime house drawing as well as 3rd house drawing inwards the Savage Arts Council Competition, best drawing as well as 4th house overall inwards the Elk River Alliance competition. Before that, I had won the accolade for excellence as well as minute house overall at the Burnsville Art Fete iii dissimilar times. And I was simply accepted into the Minnesota State Fair contest for the 3rd time.

Awards of the same value are equal inwards rank, as well as artists are inwards alphabetical lodge inside each accolade group.

NOTE: I was a picayune surprised when looking for websites to regime annotation that:
  • very few had an private URL for the page their artwork was on
  • rather a lot had had their artwork pinned to Pinterest - BY OTHER PEOPLE.
The moral of the storey is that if y'all own got an identifiable URL for private items of artwork y'all tin tell where the visitors are coming from if y'all role a decent statistics service - as well as thence tin tell when your artwork has been pinned. Some people don't hear - as well as others hear a lot. Just a thought.
