Everything shared in the pages of this book comes from the applied lessons of those gracious artists that have provided knowledge and inspiration to myself and other aspiring painters over the years. A special thanks is given to all the students I have been fortunate enough to interact with. Far more has been learned from them than any other source.
Credit must be given to: my mother Beneva McKinley, for instilling a sense of artistic wonder in me at an early age; to my high school art instructor James Snook, for seeing potential and challenging me to use it; to my first artistic mentor Margaret Stahl Moyer, for providing guidance and discipline; and to master painter Albert Handell, for giving permission to listen to my inner artistic voice.
Heartfelt thanks are given to Janie Hutchinson and Maggie Price for having the vision to found The Pastel Journal and for allowing me to first publish in its pages.
Gratitude is owed to the wonderful team at F+W Media: publisher Jamie Markle and editorial director Pam Wissman, for having proposed the project and guiding it along to completion; to editor Sarah Laichas, for all her patience and hard work in the laborious task of pulling together all the years of writings; to all the editors and editorial staff I have been fortunate enough to work with: Maureen Bloomfield, Chris McHugh, Jessica Canterbury and Sarah Strickley; and most of all, the one person that deserves the credit of dual authorship, Pastel Journal editor Anne Hevener, for making my words coherent and sound so good over the years.
This book is dedicated to all of my painting friends for years of artistic camaraderie and to Don Robertson for his unwavering support of my artistic journey.

I WAS HUMBLED BACK IN 2003 TO BE ASKED TO WRITE FOR The Pastel Journal. What did I have to share? Little did I know it would lead to over twenty-five columns and become one of the most rewarding experiences of my artistic life. In 2007, editor Anne Hevener approached me with the idea of doing a blog about pastel. I didn't even know what a blog was. With encouragement from the staff at F+W Media, the weekly posts began, covering topics from palette choices to what we listen to while painting. As the material accumulated, the idea of a compilation ensued. Then the herculean task of organizing began. With the considerable help and patience of editor Sarah Laichas, it has finally come together.
