I have been selected as one of TEN Colored Pencil Masters to be featured in a brand new Home Study Course called Sessions with Colored Pencil Masters. My work will also be featured on Nov. 13, 1 p.m. EST, in an international webinar which gives a sneak peek of the course with tips, tricks and shortcuts from top Masters.

My mixed media technique is featured in the “Drawing Board” column of the October 2012 issue of The Artist’s Magazine. It is a step-by-step demonstration of the technique I developed using colored pencil over alkyd oil paint over clear gesso. This is the same technique we explore in my newest workshop, “Mixing Media with Colored Pencil and Pastel.” (See previous posts for scheduled workshop dates.) The models for both drawings in the article are my beautiful nieces.
A summary of the article and an example of a variation of the technique can be found online at ArtistsNetwork.
