From the Editor

Tell Us

Colored pencil appeals to artists who find
pleasure in the intense concentration it requires. In
recent years, the medium has undergone a resurgence.
We’re thrilled to have a master, Gary Greene, share his
inventive art while conveying straightforward lessons in
craft in “Uptight Is All Right,” page 44. Renowned chil-
dren’s book illustrator Will Hillenbrand also uses col-
ored pencil—along with oil pastel, watercolor, acrylic
and a host of other media. Take a look behind-the-
scenes to see how he conceives and
executes his complex illustrations in
“Imagining Wondrous Worlds,” page
38. Jeremy Lipking’s lustrous evoca-
tions of the figure and the landscape
represent a traditional approach to
oil (“Drawing Out the Riches,” page
30). On the other side of the spec-
trum is Kim Krause, whose exuber-
ant abstractions cascade off the page
(“Time Turning,” page 60). From clas-
sical realism to freewheeling abstrac-
tion–you’ll find a range of styles (and
media), as always here.

Three years ago we announced a broader focus, while reaffirming our commitment to bringing you lucid

lessons in craft, savvy business advice, and, of course, fabulous art. Let us know how we’re doing; please take our online survey at www. artistsnetwork.com/ 2008survey.
