Pencil Show Coming Soon

A pencil show? Yes, an art show of only pencil drawings by 3 of my advanced drawing students and me!

Some facts:

Title: Gray Matter

Dates: Friday, May 5 and Friday, June 2

Location: Brandon-Mitchell Gallery, 117 So. Locust in Downtown Visalia (between Main and Acequia, west side of the street)

Time: 5-8 p.m.

Participants: Kelvin Farris, Maggie Meling, Wendy Miller, Jana Botkin

We are part of the monthly “Art Walk” in Downtown Visalia. There are many business and art studios that join in this regular event. This is something I’ve never gone to, so I don’t know what to expect. However, you can expect some wonderful pencil drawings, including these.

  1. Wow, Jana. You are an excellent teacher! These are great drawings.

    • Ruthie, these are exceptional students, but okay, thanks, I am a decent teacher too. 😎

  2. Wow! Fabulous!

    • Diane, wait until you see the work in person!

  3. Friday, May 5 and Friday, June . . . ???

    These samples are very impressive, wow! I just don’t understand how artists can take a blank sheet of paper and turn it into a beautiful picture.

    Wish I could attend on either May 5 or June ? but I wish you all the very best success!

    • Sharon, my students are fabulous people, great learners and fantastic pencil-heads. 😎

      I found the date and amended the post – it is June 2.

      • Pencil-heads, ha ha! In an affectionate way, of course!

        June 2 would have been my brother, Randy’s 60th birthday, wow. So as you can imagine, that date sticks in my mind.

        Have a productive and artistic week!
