Beth’s presentation was well organized, knowledgeable, and inspired me with new ideas for mixed media applications
Beth your class really opens up a world of possibilities. It was great that you communicated what didn’t work for you, and you visually shared that. It looked like the pencil really goes on like butter. Tinting the ground is genius!Thanks Beth!
I’m so glad I enrolled in this class! Beth is a great teacher and covered all aspects I wanted to know when trying color pencil on tile. For example, transferring line art, erasers, application of various grounds and differences, various pencils, finishing touches, and so much more. It was a fantastic and inspiring demonstration. At the end of this Jelly Bean class you will be ready to implement the techniques you will learn. I’m excited to create my first piece on tile!
Enjoyed this class so much. Thanks to Beth Daleo for opening my eyes to see beyond paper for Colored Pencils. Very Inspiring !!
