Featured Artist Gail Jones

The June issue of CP Magic is a special issue, with Gail Jones joining Carrie to talk about her artist’s journey.

Unlike many featured artists, Gail doesn’t consider herself a professional artist. Rather, she says she’s “more of an art student.” An enthusiastic learner pursuing many mediums and subjects.

Gail’s interview describes that learning progress in words and pictures, showing you how her colored pencil work has advanced from her early works to more recent works. It will encourage you in your own journey of improvement.

Tutorial

Carrie Lewis provides this month’s tutorial. She chose one of her favorite subjects—a horse—but combines India ink and colored pencils. If you’ve ever looked for ways to speed up the drawing process, then you’ll want to see how Carrie starts a portrait with India ink, and finishes with colored pencils.

Her tutorial includes a downloadable reference photo and line drawing.
