I am new to pastel pencils and this podcast along with Colin and Steve’s website has been so very helpful in learning about not only pastel pencil techniques but the personal explorations, discoveries, experimentations, and joys of the creative process. As a lifelong passionate nature photographer I am learning much from this site to apply to my photography pursuits. Many thanks again!

The back and forth interview style between father and son is great to listen to. Colin has so much to share with artists and would-be artists. This podcast is a gem of information about not only pastel pencils, but how to develop your art and stay positive and motivated. Thank you!

Colin is an amazingly talented artist. He is a true blessing to the world of art! I am very grateful for this awesome podcast! Thank You Steve and Colin!

Thank you so much!

I've just joined your website and have been looking for something like this for a long time. Now that all my kids are in school I am able to find the time to work on projects on your website! The detailed instruction on the videos are so great and I've just finished the hedgehog picture. Your podcasts of stories and art questions are delightful! Keep it coming! Looking forward to the Christmas card!! Cara

Like listening to a family conversation at dinner about how dad got his start in the business. Looking forward to more.
