Jan Koutsky uses the emotive quality of color to draw the reminiscence of a landscape. She is interested in creating a sense of space, openness and light. Jan's goal is to communicate the impact of nature, rather than creating a representational drawing. She uses light-fast (non-fading) colored pencils on archival museum board and paper.  Colored pencils provide the power of color while showing the mark of the artist’s hand. You will see thousands of strokes. This is a meditative quiet process.
