The artworks on display have been achieved using artistic quality coloured pencils. Drawing with coloured pencils is a process that requires patience and is an economical and uncluttered way of drawing that is growing in popularity.
The works featured in this exhibition include drawings from 'almost' beginners to more established artists. 'The more you look, the more you see' certainly applies to coloured pencil drawings.
Through the Phoenix Colour Pencil Group, artists learn new skills and techniques that improve their work as they draw layer by layer, focusing on the colour, detail, texture and depth from the first stroke to the last. It is fun and therapeutic!
The Phoenix Colour Pencil Group will be hosting a workshop with demonstrations. For more information, contact us at nathanhomestead@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
