The colored pencil technique called circulism was invented in 1992 by Maggie Toole. The word circulism apparently existed prior to that time but that was not known to this artist... "Creating the technique I call Circulism, as a derivative of Pointillism, was my way of incorporating a painting style that I loved with one of my favorite tools, the pencil. What happened next came more natural than anything before it, and from the first piece I drew, there was a magic about it. Using colored pencils, I draw no lines at all...only varied, unending, overlapped and intertwined circles. Building seemingly transparent layers, incorporating all color. As in pointillism, the distant viewer's eye fuses these into realistic shades of human flesh, hair and life."
