I save you gobs of time and money by pretesting for you!
It takes years of expensive, agonizing experiments to find the right tools and techniques, but you don't have to do that.
As Executive Director of the International Colored Pencil Symposium for 11 years, I brought in 25-30 top colored pencil Masters to reveal their methods and materials, so I know all the Masters' secret tools.
As editor for Art Materials Today and Michael's Arts & Crafts Magazine, and it was my job to test supplies to find the best use of pencils, papers, and accessories.

"I am so excited - I just received Sandra's suggested pencil sharpener and battery operated eraser. I am waiting for the drawing mat to arrive. I told my husband I want the electric light table for my birthday. Loving this... so much. Thank you, Sandra Angelo!"
Donna McGue
Colored Pencil College Apprentice
"Sandra's knowledge of colored pencil is extensive. She is a Master in colored pencil. In less than 6 months, I've learned more from her than I would have ever on my own or from books. She showed me more in the world of colored pencil than I would have thought possible! My drawings improved 100000% just by using her methods and materials and following her recipes for success."
