Drawing with color pencils has allowed me to study details found in nature. Working on a new surface, sanded paper, has brought a unique look to my work. Texture and color are a hallmark of my nature studies.

I enjoy capturing details with color pencils. I found a new surface, sanded paper, that allows for interesting textures. Using texture and detail is a hallmark of my drawings. I discovered my love for color pencils after retiring from teaching 20 years. Using a new surface called sanded paper, I have found fun techniques for drawing natural objects and landscapes. Exploring the limits of texture keeps me coming back to this medium.
