Coloured Pencil Drawing Biography
This lesson introduces some basic color pencil strokes which will be useful in your drawing. Make sure to go on to the next page for some exercises to help you practice your color pencil technique. It is a good idea to spend some time exploring the color pencil medium with small pieces before attempting a major drawing.
As with graphite pencil, there are a range of techniques which you can employ when drawing with colored pencil. Which one you choose will depend on the final effect you are aiming for:
SHADING
Using a straightforward side-to-side shading motion, a smooth even layer of color is built up. A very light touch can be used to deposit the faintest amount of pigment for graduated shading.
Pam Belcher is strictly a colored pencil artist. She draws a variety of subjects - whatever suits her fancy at the moment. Pam is especially fascinated by the wondrous patterns and colors found in nature and man made objects. She has been working in colored pencils since 1995. The slow laborious medium suits her working style perfectly, and she usually completely enjoys the process. Sometimes it does become a bit much!
Pam was born in New York, grew up in Denver, and after high school moved to the Seattle area. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Washington State University in 1975, and also attended Burnley School of Graphic Design for further education. She put her art on hold for awhile when she went to Norway for a year in 1981 with her new husband, Ed, who was a visiting scientist working on helium speech unscrambling. Upon returning, she spent several years being a stay at home mom. When her son was in elementary school, Pam offered to help out with art projects. She was immediately put to work and taught a weekly art lesson. It was then that she discovered colored pencils. She started drawing seriously, took a few workshops, read millions of books, and joined the Seattle Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America. In that group she met a large number of generous, talented people who have become valued friends and continue to help her hone her craft. Pam also enjoyed teaching drawing at the Northshore Senior Center in Bothell, Washington for fourteen years.
Pam has exhibited widely in the Seattle area as well as in several national exhibits. She had a piece featured in the Best of Colored Pencil Volume 5 by Rockport Publishers. She has two pieces featured in Strokes of Genius 2: The Best of Drawing Light and Shadow by Northlight Books. Pam is a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) where she enjoys Signature Status; she is President of the Seattle CPSA District Chapter 207. In 2007 she was juried into the Women Painters of Washington. Besides drawing, Pam does some web site design, and recently retired from working part time doing graphic design and website upkeep. Pam and her husband Ed, a retired electrical engineer, have one son Ken, a guitarist in Los Angeles.
