Artist and author, Wendy Hollender, is featured in the September 2009 issue of Artists Magazine. Freelance writer, Meredith E. Lewis, interviewed Wendy and traces Wendy’s career from successful designer to coordinator of the botanical art and illustration program at the New York Botanical Garden.
Wendy discusses how she works in her studio and shares her preferences when it comes to colored pencil, her chosen medium. She also lists the individual colors she uses to create the colors found in nature.
The September issue of Artists Magazine is on sale now at the North Light Shop. Also online and available for download, are a drawing exercise and a colored pencil exercise from Wendy’s book, Botanical Drawing: A Beginner’s Guide.
Wendy teaches at the New York Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Botanical Garden and Hollengold Farm. She also teaches classes in the field.
