Juno Kughler - Portraits & Illustration



About the Artist

Like my artist father, I've always been fascinated by portraiture. I love the wonderful translucency of skin and the way eyes can pull you right into a person's soul. Working primarily with colored pencil and Odorless Turpenoid, I'm able to create unusually rich tones and smooth textures that bring my subjects to life on paper. Read more . . .


Awards & Recognitions

". . . But this isn't just another pretty face. Juno's decision to wrap her subject in fabric, allowing only the eyes to show is a lovely example of creating what I call "story". 

Without the wrap, we might still marvel at Juno's facility with colored pencil and drawing, but with it, she's introduced mystery and a question...and the possibility of a story behind the image. 

People love stories ....we're intrigued by even a hint of one... "

-- Ann Kullberg, colored pencil artist, author of the books Capturing Soft Realism in Colored Pencil and Colored Pencil Portraits.

Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)

Artist trading cards, or ATCs, are miniature works of art measuring 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". These cards can be created using any medium, and are traditionally exchanged between artists. It's a wonderful way for artists of all types and skill levels to share, collect and be inspired by each other's work. See more ATCs here . . .

 

 

Before & After

This little Mongolian Goat Girl is a perfect example of how blending colored pencil with Odorless Turpenoid gives my portraits the rich feel similar to that of an oil painting. View more examples.
