I've heard of her; I think her courses are available on video now.  She
advertises in The Rangefinder (published by WPPI: www.wppi-online.com) and
Professional Photographer (published by PPA: www.ppa-world.org) magazines.
The Rangefinder is particularly inexpensive, (almost every Christmas they
have a half-price subscription offer) and they sometimes feature
photographers who do hand-coloring.  One is Helen Boursier, located in New
England, I think.  She has a book out called,"The Modern B&W Portrait
(selectively tinted)." Published by Studio Press, 1-800-445-7160.  They have
all sorts of books on photography and marketing, ask for their free catalog.

You should call Albums Inc. for their free catalog.  Contains all sorts of
albums, frames, mats, and other supplies.  Also, ask them which colors come
with the pencil set.  Then you will know which 4 aren't included, and can
order those a-la-carte.

I have to spray the prints I enter in competition because the finish has to
be even, and those oily spots wouldn't impress the judges!
