Rise to the Surface JellyBean Class
This was a fabulous class with Denise Howard! Denise is a wonderfully talented artist as well as a very giving teacher! She was organized & taught as much as she could, freely sharing her knowledge of the different sanded surfaces for colored pencils. And although I have used all these surfaces previously, I still learned tips & background information on these surfaces, plus info on how they accept different types of pencils, and blending mediums & tools. Denise was very thorough on this subject.

Great workshop!
A perfect introduction to textured surfaces before jumping in and trying them. Helpful information, beautiful examples of what can be done, and a clear listing of the pros and cons of each. Thanks, Denise!

Great Presentation
Denise Howard showed such joy as she demonstrated the techniques and tools to create using sanded surfaces. I couldn’t help but be inspired to try these boards and papers. During the demonstration Denise took questions and tried different pencil combinations when anyone asked for more possibilities. She shared her work to illustrate what can be done with these surfaces and all pieces were beautifully rendered. I truly great presentation.
