PRO/ADVANCED WINNER - Dominika Kowalczyk
Why it won:
It may seem at first that we selected this as the
winner based on the additional bird and although we love, love that second lilac
roller, it is really your skills that once again that carried this to the top.
We held it against our favorites and determined this the winner even without
that extra effort but with it – it just blew us away! You were able to
successful capture all the nuances to this image, including the features, eyes,
branch, and leaves. Critique would be primarily the crop. We would have liked to
have seen a little more room at the bottom of the artwork and right side, as it
might be a problem when framing and could be improved compositionally, secondly
perhaps more sky color. A pleasure to have you enter this!
BEGINNER/STUDENT WINNER -Abigail Jones
Why it won:
This guy’s got personality! We
love the close up and the daring crop. The feathers look soft and fluffy and you
feel like you could hold your finger out and have this lilac roller perch on it!
The details in the leaves are really incredible and the addition of the berry’s
are a excellent yet not over-stated. Great job on the wood as well. The blend of
colors on the birds chest especially is beautiful and really adds depth to the
feathers! Our critique would be to have added some color to the background, this
might have helped the bird pop a little, especially as it is light in color
towards the top of it’s head. We hope to see more from you!

Hi... Can I use watercolor pencils? ... Thanks
ReplyDeleteShort Answer: Yes.

Long Answer:
What is the definition of a colored pencil?
To maintain continuity throughout the colored pencil community, we looked to the CPSA (Colored Pencil Society of America), to define what qualifies a medium as colored pencil.
Dry drawing materials are made of coloring agents or pigments combined with a binder of some kind and come in a wide range of forms. It is helpful to view these materials as part of a broad spectrum of drawing media. The colored pencil medium is situated near the middle of a continuum that stretches from soft pastel on one end to oil pastels and oil bars on the other end. With the proliferation of new dry media, however, it has become much more challenging to define what is, in fact, colored pencil media.
1. Must come in a solid dry form.
That includes regular colored pencils, water-soluble colored pencils, and pencils where the pigment is encased in wood as well as art sticks which are solid pigment. We do not restrict how the pencils are applied and permit the use of water and other solvents.
2. Cannot be brushed off.
This refers specifically to colored pencil media applied on regular paper surfaces. It does NOT refer to brushing off loose ‘crumbs’ of colored pencil but instead refers to brushing off dry pigment as is possible with soft pastels. This does NOT refer to the ability of colored pencil media to be brushed off of sanded papers and other similar surfaces.
3. Must dry completely.
Due to the nature of the materials from which they are composed, oil based colored pencils dry completely while oil pastels and oil bars do not.
The appearance of the material is not the basis upon which the determination of approval is based. Some colored pencil media have wood coverings while others do not. Rather, the material must be placed within the continuum of dry drawing materials and then determine whether the above three requirements are met. Visit www.cpsa.org for more information.
Pastel Pencils and Crayons are NOT considered Colored Pencils according these definitions and would be ineligible for our contests and competitions.
