Pertain Buckland
Drawing and sketching helps me share my thoughts and views of what I experience and connect to: landscapes, living things and objects around me. Sometimes simple, sometimes more complex, it is my storytelling. I believe light, value, composition and line are important in telling that story. I work in black & white using graphite, charcoal, and pastel; sometimes all together and other times as single mediums. I work mostly in my studio and occasionally on location. I live and work in the central Ohio area with my artist husband and a jack russell terrier.
