Colored Pencil Society of America District Chapter 117, St. Augustine, Florida

Welcome

We meet on the 3rd Sunday of each month via Zoom. Due to the COVID situation, the in-person Chapter meetings continue to be suspended. It is our sincere hope that this finds everyone (and their families) safe and healthy. No meeting in April as our regular falls on a major holiday. Our next meeting is Sunday, May 15, 2022 at 1:00 EST - via ZOOM. The program will be given by Pat Lentine on "Skin Tones." See the Meetings page for details and pencil list If you plan to attend and wish to participate, there is a supply list on the Meetings page. Please join us ~ see the ZOOM instructions here. If you are not a member but are interested in attending, please email cpsa117staug@gmail.com so we can send you a Zoom invitation.
Our organization, the Colored Pencil Society of America, has worked hard to educate the art world that the medium of colored pencil is, in fact, fine art. Here is a quote from the CPSA (National) website: "Founded in 1990, the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) is a nonprofit organization for colored pencil enthusiasts working to promote colored pencils as a fine art medium by sponsoring exhibitions and workshops, being involved in product research, and educating the public in general."
You will be amazed by what you see when you delve into the colored pencil world. There is great debate whether using colored pencil is painting or drawing. Whatever your opinion, colored pencil allows for great precision and detail, the complex layering of colors, conveying of soft or sharp elements, and creating something special in portraits, nature, wildlife, city-, water-, and landscapes.
And it's an economical and portable medium. Pack up your pencils and a few other supplies and you can go anywhere to capture unforgettable moments. So, consider exploring colored pencil art and joining us on this journey.
