Color Pencil Art with Mitch Rosen
On Wednesday, May 3 at 7 p.m. in the library's Mackay Room, artist, author and former policeman Mitch Rosen imparts information, technique, and style about making art with color pencils. A question and answer period will follow the program, as Mitch also discusses his history of working with Color Pencils.
Mitch Rosen is a self-taught artist with a passion for vivid realism. Mitch strives to reproduce photographic image’s in exact detail using colored pencils on paper. Mitch applies his medium in magnified detail to offer a naturalistic descriptive style.
His objective is to capture a precise moment that creates an emotional tie with the viewer. Mitch generally focuses on New York street scenes depicting somber moments and calm.
In 2018 Mitch’s piece, “The Search for Heroes” was accepted and is now a part of the World Trade Center Memorial Museums’ permanent collection. Visit the 9/11 tab to view. Additionally, Mitch’s piece “The Terminal Bar” has been proudly displayed in the Port Authority Police Academy located in Jersey City, New Jersey. The piece depicts Officer Patrick Mullally and Sergeant James Romito, who lost his life on 9/11 in the World Trade Center. Mitch will return to the library on Wed. September 6 to discuss his 9/11 experiences and his art inspired by that fateful day.
This event is sponsored by The Friends of the Englewood Library.
