Richard McKinley has been a professional artist and teacher
since1975. He shares his wealth of information with the
pastel community through frequent columns and a weekly
blog for the Pastel Journal Magazine.
The best of these were amassed into the book:
"Pastel Pointers -
Top Secrets for Beautiful Pastel Paintings"
in 2010.
"My goal as an artist is to capture a piece of the
spontaneous dance 0f light across the palette of
nature. I hope the final painting is likea glance
when we see something that makes us take
a pause andits impression lingers in our memory."
