The Bride is the largest colored pencil drawing I ever did. The image is 40" x 55". It took quite awhile to draw. I had it on an easel and did a lot of cross hatching, I worked at it as I would a painting. It was quite the job. I won a National Award for this drawing. It's mighty cold out, everyone stay warm.
Happy New Year!! That ,is simply amazing!!! I can see that it took a long time,the detail is just exquisite. No wonder you win awards!!! I enjoy looking at your work. You are very talented :) Nancy
Jeanne this is one one my very favorite drawings. Complex,elegant, and so breathtaking. This drawing inspires me to keep challanging myself. You are an inspiration thank you Lorraine C
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. I went to college when I was 37 years old. I loved it so much, I was a sponge and absorbed anything and everything about art. I started out wanting to be a portrait artist but ended up using pencil and colored pencils. I made quite a name for myself with my drawings. I won many awards. When I needed a break from that I went into oil sticks and just loved them and again did very well with awards. I finally went back to my oils but always felt frustrated with them I wanted to be free from all constraints, I am now working in acrylics and loving them. So now the sky is the limit. I just want to go and do everything I feel and want to express.
