In this 2-day workshop with Montpelier artist Rick Powell, artists will literally sharpen their pencils to study and render unique landcape motifs in pencil, graphite and colored pencils! Participants will go into the field with Rick, make sketches and take photos of scenes of interest. The workshop will then head back into the Gallery to recreate the reference sketches and photos into beautiful pencil drawings.
A graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Rick Powell spent 25 years as a commercial artist and illustrator. Now, with the freedom to choose his subjects, Rick uses colored pencils to create realistic scenes of New England’s natural beauty composed of thousands of colorful lines. His work can be found in New England galleries and in private collections around the state and beyond.
Participants should have a good grasp of drawing and/or rendering in pencil, and be familiar with using pencil as a medium.
