We have a packed issue for you this summer, filled with inspiration to satisfy all your colored pencil cravings. Get back to nature with incredible featured artists, starting with Sabine Lackner, who has dedicated over 20 years to animal portraiture, and Nadiia Zhebrakovska, whose passion for horses and storytelling comes together in a truly magical way. Bonny Snowdon guides you through a two-horse workshop perfect for building confidence, while Amii Harwood shows you how to render grass without the intimidation.
If color selection has ever held you back, Charlotte Stanes is here to help. Begin with her article on taking the guesswork out of color, then explore her Foolproof Formulas for even more guidance. Lisa Clough also returns with practical solutions to common mistakes, helping you refine and strengthen your work.
We are always honored to share the artwork and insights of our contributors and readers, and this issue’s gallery is no exception. You’ll also find thoughtful tips on how to reignite your creativity when burnout strikes. I’ve joined in as well with an article on the rising popularity of miniature art and what it means for you as an artist.
