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.
