Overall it was a good experience but I lost the original book Ipurchased so ordered the online version. Well done and as I had all of the required materials it was super enjoyable. But I have a question for you if you can respond I would be most appreciative. I was asked to donate work for a charity auction and the money raised is going to a good cause. I did not send a photo of my love bird but would that have been ok? Thank you for guidance.
Hi Dolores, Thank you for the question - and you did a wonderful job on your lovebird! Our copyright policy on all Ann Kullberg tutorials is that you are able to do as you wish with any artwork you create from the instruction. However, you may not reproduce or copy the tutorial itself to distribute, resell or use to teach. There are various opinions on the ethics of selling artwork from tutorials, and ultimately, it's up to you! Our stance on it is very clear: the tutorials are meant to teach you colored pencil technique, and what you create from them is your artwork, so you are free to do what you wish with finished works. Of course, giving credit to the original artist is always appreciated and encouraged. To be clear, this may not be the policy on every colored pencil tutorial you find out there. But we will support you doing as you wish with artwork you create from Ann Kullberg materials - our mission after all is to inspire you to Shine! Best Wishes, Priscilla Summers annkullberg.com

No problems at all, following tutorial. My Love Bird came out very nice. Was a great success. Mike

Love this kit and the instructions and the printed material! I bought 12 of these for my students and they all loved them. Concise instructions and well put together.
Great step by step instructions! Really enjoyed the tutorial!
I’ve completed my initial piece and learned a great deal. I will work through this a number of times refining. Some of the results didn’t become clear to me until I had worked all the way through, then could see where to improve. Thanks for the learning opportunity.
Wonderful, thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed this project.
