Welcome to Pencil Palette – Your gateway to art activities for art enthusiasts
Hi and welcome to Pencil Palette. At Pencil Palette we are artists and we love exploring the master painters from the Italian mannerist Caravaggio, the 17th century dutch painter Johannes Vermeer to 20th century american artist Georgia O’Keeffe.
We bring this passion together through books. Art activity books for everyone. We love creating exercises and activities that give students a change to interpret instructions and recreate some of the greatest paintings ever made.
We invite you to explore your passion for great art and choose one of our books to get started with. Most recently in our Portraits Edition, we have incorporated AI based feedback where students can upload their drawings by scanning a QR code and in real time can receive feedback and further instruction on how drawings can be improved.
