Another Opportunity
CP Treasurers 10
June 7, 2025 11 a.m. (ET)
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! This class will feature four selected artists from CP Treasures, Vol. 10. Ann Kullberg will interview each artist for about 15 minutes, then we'll open it up to questions. This will be a fun learning and exploring experience for one and all!

Make An Impression! - Jelly Bean Class
June 25, 2025
11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (ET)
In this highly informative mini-class you will learn not one, but two 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.
With that new technique under your belt, next you’ll 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.

Coming Soon
Drawing Metals Made Easy
August 2025
What is the secret to making metal objects sparkle? In this workshop you will learn how to portray four distinct types of metals -- pewter, brass, copper and silver. Carmen will show you how to analyze metal surfaces to capture accurate details and reflections. You will also learn how to select colors accurately to portray each metal. Hint -- you won't need to rely on any metallic pencils!
Registration opens in early July. Visit https://annkullberg.com/ for details.
Glistening Cherries
Is that really colored pencil? Yes! And in this video recording of her live workshop, Carmen will show you step by step how to make your cherries glisten and glow, too, as you follow along. Watch how she does it, then try it yourself. You'll have anytime-always video access. Learn at your own speed... and refer to it again and again.
Begin with a value study in white, then gradually add color, starting with light reds and going ever darker to recreate these plump, vivid, eye-popping bombs of glistening color. Access the video workshop at https://annkullberg.com.
