This has been a busy, very fun week with house guests but not much time for artwork. I used the little time I had to do a colored pencil and ink sketch for the inside of the Tustin Garden Club yearbook. I do the artwork each year for the cover and also 2 simplistic sketches for the inside. So now I only have one more sketch to do and that one is almost finished. The cover will be "Graptoveria" from a couple of weeks ago so I wanted to do different succulents for the inside.
It was fun working with colored pencil again with some ink but I really prefer doing more realistic pieces with colored pencil. Unfortunately I find that I really don't have the patience to spend the time that is required to do that. I'm always in awe of artists that do such detailed colored pencil art. If you want to see some incredible examples of realism in colored pencil, visit the Colored Pencil Society of America website. So many beautiful art pieces make me both frustrated and inspired.
