Featuring Four Artists from CP Treasures, Vol. 10!

As we chose images for inclusion in CP Treasures, Vol. 10 this year, we realized we had so many questions about every piece and wished that we could know more about techniques, inspiration or motivation, or surfaces, materials, subject matter...everything! Thus, this idea to poke a little deeper under the surface with four featured artists was born...

Each class will feature four selected artists from CP Treasures, Vol. 10.  Ann will interview each artist for about 15 minutes each, then we'll open it up to questions from all you wonderful attendees. This will be a fun learning and exploring experience for one and all!

What's a Jelly Bean Class?

Small, sweet and hard to stop at just one, Jelly Bean classes are our newest way to help you and your colored pencil life bloom. Each short, focused class is a mere 60 to 90 minutes, but you'll learn lessons you can use for a lifetime. Small projects or single topics that deserve a bit of delving into, Jelly Beans will enhance your skill set and knowledge base in a fun, quick fashion, all from the comfort of your own home. Scheduled on both weekdays and weekends, we hope to accommodate every schedule.
