Jess, one of our WSA members, has been a professional pencil artist for the past 5 years. She began her career primarily creating pet portrait commissions but has since grown to exhibiting wildlife pieces and drawing wildlife commissions. Jess has taken part in many joint exhibitions over the past 5 years and won the Derwent Pencil Award at The Wildlife Art Society International Exhibition and Best in Show at the UK Coloured Pencil Society Annual Exhibition. She is currently planning her first solo exhibition to be held at Worcester Cathedral in August titled ‘Confetti’ after she was inspired to draw a series of giant petals when lockdown began as all our worlds suddenly became very small but those small things such as spending time in our gardens became large and significant to us. Jess has also recently become a Derwent Artist Ambassador to help develop and promote their products to her growing social media audience. Jess will be showing us how to draw fur with both graphite and coloured pencils.
