Drawing Basics: Arlene Steinberg's Colored Pencil Drawings

7 Apr 2008

In the May 2008 issue of American Artist, we explored how Arlene Steinberg developed her detailed colored pencil drawings in much the same way as an oil painter would proceed. We present more of her drawings in this online exclusive gallery.

Kay has said it. Very beautiful work. I get excited about what coloured pencil can do when I see these pictures. And I too can't wait to get my copy of Arlene's new book! Except of course, reality says I must wait.
