Andrea Placer
Andrea Placer is an artist who uses pencil drawing, with graphite or colored pencils, to express mood, emotion, and the beauty of ordinary objects in nature. Andrea’s work can be almost photorealistic, but conveys a warmth derived from attention to detail and the application and blending of layers of color. Pencil strokes may be boldly or subtly applied, resulting in wonderful variation and versatility.
