Colored Pencil Society of America
Colored Pencil Society of America
The Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) was founded in 1990 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to artists over 18 years of age working with colored pencil. With about 1600 members worldwide and over 25 District Chapters in the US, CPSA provides opportunities for colored pencil artists to network. The Society is run by a Governing Board consisting of twelve artists and professionals who volunteer their service to ensure benefits to the membership and the future success of the organization. The Society provides two opportunities for colored pencil artists to exhibit their work. Both exhibitions offer cash awards and are juried to promote the highest aesthetic standards of fine art to the public. CPSA is also one the few art organizations to participate proactively in the development of a standard for their medium. With the increased use of colored pencil for creating fine art, CPSA believed it was crucial to have a standard of light fastness for this medium. Consequently, the organization has conducted ongoing test for colored pencil light fastness since 1991.

I have been painting on glass for 30 years. I found that some of the Vitrea 160 liners are dried up when I get them. Totally useless.When they do work, they work very well. As for the Vitrea 160 paints, I use them as accents. They streak when trying to use a brush so I use a small sponge brush and use the dabbing motion. Or I use my index finger. The colors are very nice.

As a professional artist, I have been using Liquitex acrylics for more than fifty years. The consistency and body of the colors are like those of oil paints and can’t be beat. Paintings that I have done fifty years ago still look fresh, as if painted yesterday. Highly recommended!
