Mel Tice Theisen Stonehenge paper 11 14 (28cm 36cm)

This book belongs to Mel Tice Theisen. A more patient and kind person you will never find! His wonderful support in all that I do, and help with anything I could possibly need, gives me the freedom to reach for the stars. Also, being able to work from his awesome photography helps make me look better than I really am. Anyone who knows me will surely agree that I am a much better person for having him in my world. For all those things, I am forever grateful!

I also want to thank and acknowledge my sister, Cathi, who has artistically inspired me my whole life. She is a gifted artist (better than me, in my opinion!), and has always been, in many ways, my mentor. She still does not fully understand the wonderful influence she has had on my artistic career. When I was a child, watching her create her artwork was truly magical, and the need to create was passed on to me.

Acknowledgments

This book is also dedicated to all my students who come to my studio week after week, month after month, and year after year, and honestly help keep me sane. (No easy task!) I am in awe of your constant loyalty and heartfelt friendships. I cannot imagine life without you and our time together. My studio is truly a healing place where life gives us a tiny glimpse of heaven. Some say that room is the world's best-kept secret! Here's to many, many more years together, solving all the world's problems in our favorite room!

Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention my wonderful publishing company. North Light Books has been my home for more than fifteen years now. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the best editors in the industry. Without their expertise and professional guidance, my books would not be as successful as they are. They have meant the difference between mediocrity and awesomeness, and I couldn't begin to thank them enough. To all the wonderful editors I have had the pleasure of working with, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I'm already looking forward to next time!

Realism Meets Personal Flare

My sister, Cathi, is an awesome artist, and I want the world to see a sample of her beautiful work. This drawing is a wonderful representation of realistic colored pencil.

When I was younger and experimenting with my natural urge to draw, I created some pretty wild images. I was raised in the 60s and 70s, when the trend in art was using bright, flashy colors and psychedelic impressions. It was called pop art and was fantastically fun, especially when viewed under a black light where the colors turned neon and seemed to glow. I spent hours drawing and painting fun things in the craziest designs possible. Everything in art was loud and exaggerated, much like my personality back then.

Later, however, when I entered my late teens, I felt the need to be more realistic. I abandoned my wild designs, and tried desperately to capture on paper life as I really saw it. It wasn't easy, but I discovered that my natural artistic self was that of a realist.

When studying art history in school, I fell in love with the works of sixteenth-century Europe. The awesome realism captured by Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Rubens and Renoir fueled my desire to do the same. My journey had begun!To this day, I try to go to as many art galleries and museums as possible to study original masters works. I also take my students to the Nelson-Atkins Museum here in Kansas City, Missouri, to discuss the techniques and analyze the colors and brush strokes up close. Many don't know that I am an oil painter as well, and I try to replicate the beauty I see in my favorite artists artwork from the past.
