Russell McKeand

Over 35 years experience drawing a variety of things. Mainly portraits and motorcycles. I have specialized all of my career in one media, that being Prismacolor colored pencil. I use a very unforgiving technique called burnishing that fills every area of the paper with multiple blended layers of pencil. Once the paper is filled, it will not accept any more pencil. Most people cannot identify the medium because it just doesn't look like pencil at first glance.
