Enjoy an entertaining demonstration by Denver-based artist Bill Amundson on Colored Pencil Drawing

Amundson works in what he describes as the "Suburban Regionalist" mode, a style devoted to capturing and celebrating the true American scene rather than the idealized version so often pictured in the art of our time. His works reveal an interest in the contemporary landscape, particularly as reflected through such distinct American staples as the subdivision, the chain restaurant, retail franchises, interstate travel, SUV’s and the ubiquitous cell phone.

Amundson’s pencil and colored pencil drawings have been described in various publications as “ironic, compulsive, sweet, irreverent, whimsical and banal.” Amundson has exhibited throughout Colorado and the United States over the past 25 years. The Denver Art Museum has shown his work numerous times, and he is represented in their permanent collection, as well as many other private and public collections worldwide.
