ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Janie Pirie started her career as an art teacher in the late 60’s but realised this wasn’t the job for her. After working in advertising in London, marrying her husband, having a family and living in the Middle East she returned to art school in 1985 for a fine art degree.
During the summer of 2007 Janie was picking red currants from her kitchen garden when she accidentally knocked off a branch and so decided to draw it. This was followed by black currants, gooseberries, black berries and strawberries. Upon their acceptance by the Society of Botanical Artists she realised her path was that of a botanical artist. Her work at the SBA’s annual exhibition has won her three certificates of Botanical Merit. She exhibits with the Royal Horticultural Society and was awarded Gold Medals in 2009 and 2014. Her work is sold worldwide and she teaches in the USA and the UK.
ABOUT IN-DEPTH TUTORIALS: Created by master colored pencil artists, each In-Depth tutorial features 30+ steps and focuses on teaching you why and not just how the artist applies their technique. No book or video comes close to the amount of instruction in an In-Depth tutorial. Art instruction books typically contain 4-6 steps per demo. That just scratches the surface! With large images and 30 or more steps, In-Depth tutorials truly show you exactly how the artist works, making it easy to truly learn new colored pencil techniques and achieve success.
