The colored pencil drwaings presented at the CPSA International Colored Pencil Exhibition, which was held at the modern Ellipse Art Center in Arlington, Virginia, displayed a barrage of colors, kinetic energy, innovative styles and incredible techniques that overwhelmed and inspired the hundreds of guests attending this opening. The show was an array of talent culled from approximately 900 entries by Juror M. Stephen Doherty, Editor-in-Chief of American Artist magazine. Each two-dimensional artwork of pure colored pencil brought audible responses and beckoned viewers to stop, discover, and return again and again to scrutinize the personal "imprints" made by artists from around the country...

And in the center of this whirlwind lies the heart of it all - the colored pencil artwork. This book provides you with a private tour, one in which you will be able to meditate on each work. The artists' personal comments have been included to take you beyond the visual surface and into the depths of its creation. This is art at its finest. This is colored pencil at its finest.
