ONLINE Painting with Colored Pencils: White on White,
Fine Art Workshop with Cynthia Knox, CPSA
Three Day Workshop: March 19-21, 2021, 9am-4pm
$460 M/$495 NM
All white is NOT the same! Cynthia will guide you through the nuances of white with each item in this still life – from the cream of the background to the pinks and blues in the peonies and cup.
Discover the difference between drawing and painting with colored pencils in this three-day colored pencil workshop. Cynthia Knox will guide you step by step through the process of creating this stunning still life (photo reference shown) and will demonstrate her signature style of painting with this dry medium. A variety of tips and techniques will be taught that will enable each artist to render the subtleties of the varying tones of “white,” the green leaves, and juicy strawberries, as well as textures and surfaces seen in this composition.
In addition to group and individual instruction, Cynthia will provide high-quality instructional materials that include a glossy tutorial booklet, reference photo, her popular “Cheat Sheet” and the actual surface with a light tracing of the entire still life to minimize actual drawing time and focus on color rendering. Join Cynthia in creating a unique masterpiece that friends and family will be certain to ask, “THAT’s colored pencil?!”
Cynthia Knox, CPSA, is a colored pencil and graphite artist who lives in New York with her family. Her artwork has received numerous awards in national and international juried exhibitions, and she has published 13 art instructional books, with a new book to be released in the Fall of 2018. Publishers include Walter Foster Publishing (Quartos), Ann Kullberg Publishing, Strathmore Artists, and Viking Woodcrafts. Cynthia teaches art workshops to individuals and large groups throughout the United States, internationally and online with Craftsy.com. She is represented by LaBelle Enterprises for her workshops with Bob LaBelle as the primary contact: boblabelle@sbcglobal.net.
Cynthia’s artwork, resume, and workshops can be viewed on her website at www.cynthiaknox.com, and she is on Facebook and Instagram.
A complete materials list will be downloadable by September 2020.

Best of The Art Guild 2017-2018
July 21 – August 25
The art has been picked up from our very successful Members Showcase and we realized – Oh, no! The walls are bare! – and we HATE bare walls!

• July 13 – 15, 9:30 am – 4:30 pm
• July 16 – 20, 9 am – 3 pm

Good afternoon everyone,
We regret to tell you that we are unable to hold the reception for The Best of The Art Guild on Sunday, August 26. As you know, parking is a premium here at Elderfields and we were unable to secure a parking waiver for the boulevard. The gallery will be open from 1-5pm. We apologize for the change in plans and hope that things will work out better next year.
Pick up for “Best of” and drop off for “Wallflowers” will be from 3-5pm on Sunday, August 26, and 5-7 on Monday, Aug 27.
