About Me And Technique

I am married with 5 children and 11 grandchildren. I have been painting ever since I was a little girl, when I started making my own paper doll clothes.

I then began painting with oils and acrylics, then moved on to watercolors.

I did watercolors for 10 or so years up to the time I added Prismacolor colored pencils.

I now travel teach Prismacolor colored pencil designs. You can view these designs in the Packets area.

I have belonged to the NSDP since around 1976 and have taught and had a booth in the trade show at several national conventions. I also have taught and had a booth in the trade show at The Heart of Ohio Tole Convention for many years.

I love sharing my painting experiences and meeting new artist. We always have so much in common no matter where I go teach. I'm looking forward to knowing you.

Colored Pencil Information

Colored Pencil renderings are still considered paintings as pigments are used, just no fluid.

No fluid is a major plus.

I usually layer from light to dark varying my pressure for value change.

Many times I leave the white paper in the highlight area.

I do sell a Colored Pencil Instruction Booklet for $6.00 which I have been told is very helpful.

You will find it in the Supplies Tab.
