Alice McMahon ...
On drafting film! I’ve been doing lots of charcoal on mylar, but no color as yet. Brilliant! I’d love you to submit more works to the pastel group. We are also accepting colored pencil works.
Karen Hull replied
Thank you so much Alice. I would imagine charcoal on Mylar to be very tricky. I would love to add some pencil works to the pastel group – thank you for asking.
