Merit Award Winner
While Kelley and Kim don’t have any say in who wins an award each month (that’s entirely up to the judges), they do get to choose an artist who they feel merits recognition. This month’s Merit Award goes to…
Jesse Lane, After the Storm
Jesse Lane, After the Storm
Can you believe this is colored pencil? Neither could we! While our ascetic is typically not photo-realism this piece made both a visual impact and a statement about the subject. Jesse’s strong drawing skills and mastery of the medium laid the foundation for an emotionally powerful piece. Photo-realism works best when mastery of technique is used as a vehicle to tell a story and not just to convey the technical ability to accurately record something. Well done, Jesse!
