The Gloucestershire Coloured Pencil Artists are a new group of local artists who met through an online Drawing Academy course. Brought together by a shared love of coloured pencils, they now meet regularly as friends to support and inspire one another. After realising they had created a strong body of work, the idea to exhibit their drawings naturally followed.
Coloured pencils are ideal for capturing fine detail, making them perfect for portraying the beauty of nature. Each piece is built up slowly over many hours, with colour carefully layered and blended one stroke at a time. Using both oil-based and wax-based pencils, the artists are able to create depth, shadow, and texture in their work.
Their love for the medium has not only strengthened their connection as a group but also inspired them to promote coloured pencil art more widely and share its creative potential with others.
Join them in the Wallsworth Centre from 28th July to 10th August to see their work.
