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.

This is the red we've all been waiting for! It is a deep, darker red, but not mahogany in color at all. Of all the reds I have in my collection, this is by far my favorite. One layer is perfect, but as you paint over it again, it remains true to its color, in a darker hue, of course. Thank you TH!

I can’t imagine using any other brand of paint. This is very highly pigmented and the minimal amount of binder. Since I prefer plein air, this is perfect for me. And the number of single-pigment paints are pretty amazing. Michigan has been pretty wet this year so far so the paints haven’t dried out as much as they normally would. You can’t go wrong with this brand.

The frames sections worked just as I needed. I was able to frame my 70+ year old Dutch embossed brass relief for display. The only difficulty was having the 20” sections cut down to 19.5”, which a local metal shop did gratis. Shipment was timely and well prepared.
