Then, this summer I will be offering classes at Eugene Library, Springfield Library, and Fern Ridge Library. Most of those classes will be in July, so check each website for exact dates and times.

I can't wait to see you there!

Meanwhile, here is a drawing I made a month ago while at a demo. I didn't take step-by-step pictures of the process, and I don't remember what colors I used, but you can see that I used the airbrush to create the soft focus and lighting effects that you see in the background. I drew the outlines with a cool gray 0.1mm multiliner.

From pencil to final coloring took about 5 hrs. This was based on a photo given to me by my dear friend Maaike in the Netherlands.
