Welcome to the
UK Coloured Pencil Society website

The Society was founded in 2001 with two main aims in mind - to promote coloured pencils as a fine art medium, and to support UK based artists who use, or wish to use, coloured pencils, in any way.

In this site you will find examples of what can be done with coloured pencils, links to artists who use them, and details of upcoming events and exhibitions which promote this medium. You will also find a lot of patient, sympathetic, artists willing to help you over that lonely feeling you get in your Art group when everyone else is dashing off watercolours in 20 minutes!

We hold an annual open exhibition and a winning picture from 2008 is shown below - see the full online show
