Digital pencil rendering of the deep canyon in Upper Bidwell Park in Chico, California. Upper Bidwell Park in Chico, California is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It has steep terrain and shallow soils, and contains many rock formations, including the unique Chico Formation sandstone and Lovejoy Basalt rocks. This image has been digitally rendered as fine detailed pencil drawing. It reminds me of the delicate "silver point" drawings that I created on gessoed paper using a piece of sterling silver wire while a student at the Art Institute Of Boston. The silver would darken as it oxidized creating a very subtle and soft look. © 2018 Frank Wilson; Art Style; landscape; Tags: deep canyon, in upper bidwell park, chico, california, canyon, river, basalt, rocks, cliffs, rapids, lava, volcanic lava, pencil, silver point, frank wilson, pencil drawing, pencil drawings, pencil rendering, pencil renderings, lovejoy basalt rocks, lovejoy basalt, basalt, swimming hole, deep river; Media: photography; Materials: Digital Pencil Rendering.
