I bought your book and love it! I was able to share it with my high school art students as well, you should have seen the way their faces lit up! It has helped me tremendously with my art, and given my students a new way of looking at colored pencils. Thank you!

I was hoping and praying that I'd eventually find you on this site. To me, you are one of the queens of colored pencils. Bravo! Ochin Krasivaya!

Love your work. Your book has been a great source of inspiration and information.

i bought your book...it's awesome. I shared it with my art classes and my colleagues.

Thank you, All, so much for your kind words and wonderful comments! Sorry, it took me a while to respond. We just relocated from California to Texas and I am still trying to get rid of boxes :-).

Alyona, are you OK? I haven't seen a newsletter in a while. I've mentioned your book to a few people and they wound up purchasing and loving it! Your Friend, Shelley
