Alyona,

Thank you, VERY MUCH! I love your book and your website.  I especially like your "X-Marks" section; it is nice to know there are others out there with the same outlook on life as my own.  I love how you took those wise views further and coupled them with art!

Thanks again,

Laura Bell

Thank you for another wonderful newsletter!!! I love the comments that others have left .. woo hoo!! It's great that you have so much support, not that I was worried. I think the world is waking up!!

God bless,

Hi Alyona,

I'm a high school art teacher and in my own small way I am spreading the passion I have for color pencil.  My students are very responsive to the medium even though it goes beyond their typical patience levels.  I appreciate your newsletter and website.  It's always inspiring to check out what is going on in the world of color pencil beyond my little town.

Hi Alyona,

Another great newsletter.  Your piece on shadows is excellent.  I've taken several theory workshops on color and light that were days long and $$$ .  No one ever explained shadows so thoroughly and easily understood.  Thank you.

Loved your "Ripe Point of View".  I think you and my daughter are cut from the same mold. I heard her voice the whole time I was reading.

Blessings,
