Interview

Patricia Mitchell has been an artist for most of her life, doing both fine art and decorative painting. She divides studio time between watercolors and colored pencils, sometimes combining those two mediums to produce her own distinctive artwork.

Tutorial

While her tutorial is all colored pencil, it is a combination of her two art loves. The result is artwork with a decorative flair and a subject that’s suitable for colored pencil on paper, paint on wood, or your own, unique combination.
