I’m offering an exciting new workshop this fall, along with my ever-popular class that shows how to take the guesswork out of color mixing.
Colored Pencils Go Outdoors

9 am – 3:30 pm

Learn a simplified approach to colored pencil so you can pack a few supplies and take advantage of beautiful weather and scenery. Great preparation for those who might want to start making travel journals too! After demonstrations of quick techniques that make this approach fun and easy, there will be plenty of time for guided work. We’ll meet at a north Pinellas County park, ready for casual walking and sketching (location details and materials list available at registration).

Welcome to my new website!
At long last I have a web presence, and you have found it!
I’m still learning how to post things, so it may be a while before you will find much to read or look at here, but you can always email me at mmnece@juno.com if you have questions about artwork available, commissions, classes and shows.
