The Art of
Marcia Campbell
I had a great teacher in 8th grade—about 1963—who really gave everyone in class a chance to experiment with their own expression to figure out what we liked and wanted to learn more about. I created and sold a ton of oil painting in the style of Bill Alexander and Bob Ross in the 70’s, oils turned to acrylics, then india ink on glass inspired by Gary Jenkins—still one of my favorite mediums.

A Little Bit About Me
My current passions? Watercolor, colored pencil and anything Zentangle®. I make greeting cards, custom order pieces in both watercolor and colored pencil. And Zentangle® inspired pieces either in black and white or sometimes in color. I am a Certified Zentangle® Teacher (CZT) and hold classes regularly.
I love learning techniques by different artists. My current favorite watercolorists are Joyce Hicks AWS, and Brenda Swenson. I am inspired by the techniques and colors that both of them use to create art that is vibrant.
I also love to work on black sanded pastel paper (paper that is coated with gesso that includes extremely fine sand) with 6 shades of grey colored pencil. Lots of drama and passion in the completed pieces, especially those inspired by Tango – which I also do quite well on the ballroom floor.

My new technique I've discovered that suits my sense of style is using 6 shades of gray colored pencil on black "sanded pastel" paper. Very dramatic and I sell lots of these. Colored Pencil 30"x22"
This lighthouse piece is an example of a custom landscape that I created for someone. Estate, or property paintings are things that I enjoy very much.
