"The digital Zoom workshop was, in my opinion, great, even advantageous. We received the same great instruction from Ann Kullberg that I envisioned. I learned so much about creating skin tones and the details of making eyes come to life! It was so totally worth the the time and effort invested."
- Melodie L., Tier 2 Portraits Workshop with Ann
"The workshop transformed my two regular days in two rich and passionate days. Because Ann is passionate and generous so her teaching has such a fresh style that I am thinking to take it again."
- Alessandra T., Tier 1 Online Workshop with Ann
Upcoming Online Workshops
A Series of Treasures!
When: June 7, 2025 (8:00 am - 9:30 am Pacific Time)
Featuring: Carmen Barros, Gretchan Parker, Jesse Lane & Scott Krohn
Cost: $35
About the class: 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... This class will feature four selected artists from CP Treasures, Vol. 10. Ann will interview each artist for about 15 minutes, 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!

When: June 25, 2025 (8:00 am - 10:00 am Pacific Time)
Instructor: Carmen Barros
Cost: $35
About the class: In this highly informative mini-class you will learn not one, but two very valuable techniques! Carmen will demonstrate how to produce a soft-focus, dreamy background using colored pencil shavings. All you need is a standard kitchen tool – a fine mesh tea strainer! You’ll then learn how to use impressed lines on paper, a technique that is crucial for rendering intricate vein patterns on leaves, or for creating believable highlights on fur and patterns on different objects. Carmen will show you how to “make an impression” in various ways, depending on the effect you want to achieve. Both of these fun techniques will give you extra ammo in your colored pencil arsenal!
