Description
Knowing Herbert Renard as a fellow FAA member and friend is knowing a real genius. His talent doesn't stop at his unique style of drawing and painting. He is also a very gifted writer of deep introspective thinking and is musically talented too. This young man wears "many hats" not just the French beret artist hat in this portrait.....it is a privilege and honor to know him and his "true colors". Thanks Herbert for your kindness, encouraging support and friendship....you are an inspiration. Happy Birthday!

my bad, just read the tag... i never thought this was possible using color pencils :) simply great...
Linda Nielsen replied:
Thankyou Raiyan....and yes this was done with Prisma colored pencils ...they blend really well and the background was done with the Prisma colored stix (woodless, like crayons). I thought the same way you did when I first saw a portrait done in colored pencil...then I took a class from one who is a master with it. Thanks again and for stopping by.
