| watercolour sketch |
I'm still recovering from my quick visit to London to see the UKCPS exhibition which I thoroughly enjoyed.
It's amazing to see work by artists that normally I only ever get to see on internet, and the first thing everyone says when the see work of this standard in coloured pencil is ' I never knew you could do this with pencils '.
The exhibition took place in The Central Hall, Westminster, just opposite Westminster Cathedral, a very grand location.
Both of my entries were hung in the first room after the Faber Castell stand. In the main room there were various areas selling cards and books. I succumbed to temptation and bought a signed copy of Botanical Painting with Coloured Pencils by Ann Swan. It's a beautiful book that would appeal to non-botanical artists too.
There was so much to see it was impossible to take it all in, all the entries can be seen here
My favourites in the exhibition were 'Hydrangers' by Gayle Dickinson and 'Wisdom of Age' by Irina Garmashova-Cawton, but there were many others too.
Now it's time to get down to some serious painting as I have a couple of local exhibitions coming up in the next few months and I hope to have some new work ready soon!

Congratulations! It's wonderful to see your work hanging. Very impressive on the wall! Glad to see the photo of you, as well. The new watercolor is lovely.
Great wc sketch up there. And I have to admit, even though I knew it once, I had forgotten these were colored pencil. In the photos they look watercolor to me. I got to be surprised all over again!

You fully deserve the recognition of being included in such a wonderful exhibition of coloured pencils paintings, as your works show a very high quality both in technique and in their poetic content. Congratulations!
How wonderful to be in such an exhibition - congratulations! I looked at the gallery and it is amazing that these beautiful works were done in color pencil. I never would have known it but for encountering your beautiful work, and a few others on the web. I love your watercolor of London, esp the blending of the grey to the brown.
What a gorgeous watercolor! And what a fabulous trip. I have that same Ann Swan book...isn't it amazing? I adore her work!
