What’s in November 2021 CP Magic!
Anda Chance, CPSA, CPX, is the featured artist for November. Anda has earned local, national and international recognition for her works in colored pencil. She works on a variety of papers and her favorite subjects range from architectural and mechanical to botanical. She joins Carrie to talk about her personal art journey, as well as her creative processes.
Tutorial: Immediate Level
Anda’s subject for this month’s CP Magic! tutorial is a pair of blue glass canning jars she photographed at a restored twentieth century community. She tells how and why she cropped the reference photo and the other changes she made before beginning the drawing.
Then she walks you through her creative process, using Prismacolor pencils and Stonehenge hot pressed watercolor paper.
