Going to class at any hour of the day
or night, wearing whatever you want to class, and sitting with your cat beside
you, what’s not to like!
While there are many teachers out
there, one of my very favorite is Pam Carriker.
I am proud to call her both teacher and friend.
When I heard that she was
teaching online, I jumped at the chance…and have jumped several times since.
I have learned in her background
classes , her gray scale class, but my favorite classes are her Portrait
classes.
That repetition is where you will find your own
style.
And don’t
judge your efforts ,just keep producing and with dedication to the art, you
will be greatly rewarded.
We
welcome future and current students of Pursuing Portraits to join us in our
facebook group, too.

TRAVEL LIGHTLY & CARRY A BIG STABILO
When I was getting ready for a trip to NYC, I tried to thin down my art supplies to the smallest amount that could still give me lots of art fun.
I discovered that I can take a Stabilo MarksAll black pencil ( the numbers on the side are 8046) and one of the little brushes that you fill the barrel with water and I am good to go.

Here are a few quick sketches done with these supplies.
I used sketchbook paper, very lightweight , but still it stood up to the water that was needed to make the Stabilo reactivate in a watery fashion. Would be even better on watercolor paper.
I had a few colored pencils for added color pop. Prismacolor pencils, my favorite.
Perfect amount of small supplies for an airplane or a trip to the park.
