Interview
Jennifer Lane is a wife and the mother of two adult children and one teenager. In her early 30s, she developed several pain disorders and was no longer able to work as a Paralegal. With lots of time on her hands, she decided to learn to draw using graphite. That led to colored pencils and pastels. She talks openly about her remarkable journey from Paralegal to full-time artist.
Tutorial
For her tutorial, she chose a beautiful indoor Orchid for its rich shades of pink. She works on Pastelmat with a combination of PanPastels and colored pencils. The tutorial includes a detailed explanation of how she chooses colors and mixes PanPastels to get just the right color. It’s also packed with great tips to help you get the most from these two wonderful mediums.
