Interview
Virginia artist Pauline Clay is the featured artist for October. Her art journey has led her through mountaintop experiences as well as valleys, and she has grown as an artist through all of those experiences. Her journey will encourage you to continue your art journey, no matter what challenges you may be facing.
Tutorial
Pauline’s tutorial is mouthwatering: A scrumptious slice of cheesecake and a dollop of ice cream with chocolate and caramel syrup drizzled over both. Just looking at it is enough to add calories!
She gives you the option of changing the background colors or leaving the background white, as well as the way she chose to draw it. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll enjoy this tutorial.
