Beautiful Swimmers
Paper: Stonehenge White 250 gsm

"Beautiful Swimmers" won the CPSA Award for Exceptional Merit and CIPPY Award in the CPSA 14th International Exhibition in July 2006. The colored pencil piece is 15"x25" and the surface is white Stonehenge paper. Stonehenge is a very robust, stable paper. I could get the very dark values I wanted in this piece on the white Stonehenge because it will take numerous layers of colored pencil without loosing any integrity. I use Stonehenge as the surface for most of my work and it is the paper I use in the art classes I teach as I think it is the easiest for artists new to colored pencil to use. www.cpsa.org lkoffenberger@msn.com
