Interview
Holly Horn joins us for this issue. Her work has been exhibited in shops and galleries around the United States. She enjoys teaching art as well as making art. It is my pleasure to welcome her as this month’s featured artist.
She’s also an excellent writer and tells her own story in the interview portion of this issue.
Tutorial
Her tutorial is a fun subject, her very own dog. She’s created three pieces from the same reference photo, and shows you how to draw this darling creature on Clairefontaine Pastelmat using PanPastels and colored pencils.
