An Amazing New Form of Art!

I read about these artists in the latest edition of Art News. It's just crazy what they are doing with art and technology! Tell me what you think. - Mr. Kelley

Colored Pencil Portraits Using the GRID

Birth of Venus by Botticelli (detail)

As you all know already, we have been working on the colored pencil portraits. This is the next level of our GRID studies. The grid will enable anyone to draw a highly accurate representation of anything they desire. Some of you have realized how difficult is can be to create a portrait without the aid of a grid. It pays to spend the extra time necessary to layout a grid! This should be light handed so that it doesn't show up after you're finished coloring.

Use colors expressively! If you want to throw in a little bit of a crazy color - GO FOR IT! I will never penalize you for experimenting, even if you realize that it was not successful. So don't worry about a bad result; just be ready to explain WHY you chose to do what you did when we have our critique.
