Hi,I have been following a couple of links to you. A friend of mine who is a friend of a daily painter sent me her link and then I went on from there. I'm very interested in this. It seems hard if you ask me. I'm an artist too and also work in colored pencil. I've seen it called dry medium lately to take away some of the stigma I guess which is a shame. I love your work. It's beautiful. I like your blog and all the stuff you're doing. It is encouraging me to do more this year in that way. I want to start a blog but there is so much to learn.
New name...same paintings. Most of my pieces will be done in oil paints. Some of my offerings are color pencil paintings Why do I call it a painting if it is a color pencil drawing? Because, it is done in layers with the color pencil and then using mineral spirits to spread out the color with a brush or swab giving it a washed effect, more like watercolor than color pencils.
If anyone is interested in learning to do art the way I do it, I have a series of "HOW TO" Dvds for sale at http://www.stepbystepdvds.com/ . I also will be adding a members site that will include all kinds of art tips, tricks, videos and more, soon.
I am an artist and a writer. My first book, Carrie and Hope was published April 2011, followed by Emily's Art and Soul in June 2011. I have been creating art since I was a small child, but the writing is a more recent passion. I am glad you are taking this artist journey with me.
