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!

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.

Using Colored Pencils on Black and
Other Dark-Colored 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. The class
will be geared to students of all levels of
experience.  A materials list will be
provided.
