A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "I am a pencil artist who uses prismacolor colored pencils. I draw mainly on white matboards, but sometimes I like to use different colors. I do about 20 percent on black boards now. I love the contrast you can get on a black board. My work is highly detailed. I use a layering technique to get the desired outcome that I'm looking for. I don't burnish the layers, I use many light layers. The matt finish I use is perfect for layering the colors. It has just the right tooth."
