What is a Concentration?

CECILE BAIRD - http://www.cecilebairdart.com/

Cecile is well known for her still life's (mostly done in colored pencil!!!!) 

I think her underlying idea is to draw the most realistic images possible.  People often think her drawings are photographs!

Cecile only uses 2 mediums (colored pencil and oil paint) so I think that immediately gives it a coherence, but all her clean lines and precise details really create a strong continuity between her pieces.

For me, the element and principle of art that stands out the most is light!  In all of her images there is such a strong use of light and it makes it look unbelievably realistic.  In her drawings and paintings she is also great with her use of space and color.


The first 2 images are colored pencil, and the 3rd image is oil.
