My History with Colored Pencil
by Amy Lindenberger
Colored pencil is a relatively new fine art
medium, when compared with oils,
watercolors, etc. The Colored Pencil Society
of America has increased the popularity of
the medium many times over since it first
began in 1990. However, I've been working
with colored pencil for more than thirty
years, and teaching classes on their usage for
more than a quarter century!  Read more..
History of The Linden Tree
In 1985, I opened The Linden Tree Fine Art
Studio in North Canton, OH, offering adult
drawing classes, a program of drawing
instruction for children and teens ages 5 – 17,
and special focus workshops in drawing
and colored pencil techniques. The Linden
Tree became known for its
high quality instructional standards
and supportive, common-sense
teaching methods. Read more. . .

My recently-completed landscape, Witness
Tree at Devil's Den, is one of only 101
works selected for the exhibition,
America's Parks Through the Beauty of
Art,  an international competition and
exhibition, the purpose of which is to
recognize and promote excellence in original
artworks depicting any park (national, state,
provincial, county, city) in Canada, Mexico
and the United States. In addition, it was
chosen as one of the Top 50, and will
therefore be part of a travelling
exhibition beginning in March.

Using Colored Pencils on Black
Surfaces

Colored pencil drawings are traditionally
used on white or light, neutral-colored
papers. But some subjects are much
more effective against very dark
backgrounds, and those backgrounds
can be difficult (and labor-intensive!) to
achieve with colored pencil. In this class
we’ll explore key techniques for using
colored pencil on black and very dark-
colored surfaces, to keep colors true
and luminous.

Dates: Mondays, April 15 - May 13 (no
class May 6), 6-8:30 pm
Price: $75 for 4-week session (call for
materials list
