Whether you have yet to take a workshop with pastel artist Richard McKinley, or you're a regular attendee, chances are you haven't considered that reaching him with your most pressing pastel problems might be as easy as turning on your computer. That is, unless you've already visited our new Pastel Pointers blog.

Topics McKinley has already discussed include:
What does simultaneous contrast mean?
Why have a section for neutrals in your pastel palette?
What governs my choices for an underpainting?
