First off thank you!!! This is great class and it showed the work you put into it with class presentations. And class materials all of this made for pleasurable experience. As you know I have done other forms of art. But colored pencils was completely new to me. It has provide a new perspective on creating art. The two areas that were eye openers were the techniques for color blending and matching. Something I have struggled with in the past and these techniques will be useful in other types of art. The other aspect was exploring methods for creating textures and blending of colors The unexpected part of colore pencils is it can done for reasonable cost and can be done any where. No need for an art studio I looking forward to explore what the possibilities with this medium. I stopped by Beard’s to thank Brent for recommending this class

I came into Lori’s beginner colored pencil class this October with no experience at all. ( I probably had my last art class in elementary school- I’m 61!). I’ve now signed up for my 2nd independent study course and am amazed at all that I have learned. Lori is a talented and knowledgeable instructor. Her patient, enthusiastic , and non judgmental approach keeps me coming back. Lori will go the extra mile to help you in your project approach. She’s always happy to answer questions. She finds ways to introduce new materials and techniques that make classes fun and interesting. I would highly recommend her courses for anyone , regardless of skill level.
