For the past few months, I’ve only updated the FaceBook page and on Twitter.
I am currently fine tuning my coloured pencil drawing skills.

It’s also a great way to learn pencil painting layer by layer.
One book that helped me understand the importance of underpainting is
Masterful Color: Vibrant Colored Pencil Paintings Layer by Layer
The domain Joanne.McKinnon.net is now extinct.
Domains with dots in the center are no longer available.
The new domain is without the dot so basically the same.
Thanks to a new widget by FineArt America, I can now style the gallery my way.
See Print in the menu.
