My drawings in the San Diego Fair.

I was flattered to be asked to do another tutorial, this one for Anne Kullberg’s Color Magazine. It has been quite an effort but I was thrilled to hear I’m finished and it will be used in the last quarter. This will be the last tutorial I do! It makes my brain hurt to explain how I draw like I do . 😂

I was pleased to learn that these two drawings have been accepted into the San Diego County Fair Fine Art Exhibit. ☺️ Meanwhile I am finishing up a tutorial that I was asked to do for a magazine and it is making me crazy. I wish I could just make a video instead of describe what I do.

I lost both my kitties last week, Stanley, the tabby, died unexpectedly on Monday (after a very scary weekend) and our hearts were broken. Rufus, that handsome black fluff, was terminally ill but his broken heart accelerated his decline and he died on Friday. 💔

These are the three drawings that were chosen for the article. The tutorial was a completely new one, and a much simpler one. I was asked not to show the actual article.

I was thrilled to be asked to contribute an article, a tutorial, to Colored Pencil Magazine for their fall issue. This is the first page, I was given several pages which can be seen by purchasing the magazine.
