Interview
Italian artist Elisabetta De Maria has been an artist all of her life. Her primary creative outlet is music, but creating stunning, hyper-realistic artwork is her second love. Her main medium is pastel pencils, though she also uses colored pencils. Whatever medium she uses, she pays close attention to intricate detail.
Tutorial
Elisabetta’s tutorial is a fanciful image of a curious tree frog with a very old-fashioned camera. It’s not a quick project, but it is fun. She demonstrates using pastel pencils, but you can also complete this tutorial using colored pencils if you wish.
