Drawing glass seems tough... but is it really?
Glass is often considered one of the more complex subjects to capture in a painting, but it really isn’t that difficult. In this demo class, you will learn how to analyze the key characteristics of glass objects and discover simple steps for how to draw the glass objects accurately. Carmen will share various tips to help you portray glass realistically by focusing on the patterns, values and colors that you see. To register, visit www.annkullberg.com.

Lemon Water
March 4 and 6, 2025
​
​Mark your calendar for this two-day online workshop featuring a glass and silver pitcher and lemons done on toned paper. Using a combination of colored pencils and Pan Pastels you will begin by creating the gorgeous pitcher, filled with water, ice cubes and lemon slices, and finish by rendering the plump lemons on the table. The result will be an eye-catching piece that will remind you of a warm summer day. Registration opens in early 2025.
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.
