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!

About the Featured Artists:

Arlene Steinberg:
Arlene is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, a juried member of the Salmagundi Club and the International Guild of Realism. Her book, Masterful Color was published in 2008 and her work has been featured in many publications. Her work has been shown in galleries and museums.

Farideh Afshani:
Farideh Afshani graduated with a MA in social communication studies. After winning a colored pencil art challenge in August 2019, she truly believed this is her path forward. Therefore, she has decided to organize a solo exhibition featuring an iconic cultural handcrafts in the near future.

Heidi Chico:
Heidi is fairly new to colored pencils, but not to art. Pastel pencils were her favorite medium but space constraints made them difficult to work with. That is when Heidi discovered colored pencils. The slow, intentional pace that colored pencils demand is what really appealed to Heidi. She ♥️'s them.

Nancy Honaker:
Nancy Honaker, CPSA, received a Fine Art degree in college, but life led her on a different path for years. In 2018 she entered an online colored pencil contest and became hooked! She is now a proud member of the International Guild of Realism and the Colored Pencil Society of America.

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.
