Welcome

Welcome to the world of coloured pencils

I have always been interested in art and have over the years dabbled with many mediums, I'm not a professional, I have had no formal training and completely self taught and still learning.

I do not at present sell any of my work as I feel there is room for improvement. but at the same time I have decided to display some of my work on the web for others to enjoy

Two years ago I joined the UK Coloured Pencil Society and it was here that I discovered Coloured Pencil, I'm a great fan of Faber Castell Polychromos artists quality pencils enjoying their waxy feel and the superb way in which they burnish and layer.

I do use other brands and also water soluble, mainly working in pure CP.

 If you would like more information about the UKCPS or other websites on coloured pencils then please follow the links on the links page, The UKCPS members are a smashing group of very enthusiastic people who maintain a very good website, blog and a members forum and the quarterly magazine " Talking Point", membership fees are good value and you can have the opportunity to enter exhibitions etc

Thanks for finding the site and hopefully you will enjoy what it has to offer

I will be adding more coloured pencil work at regular intervals.
