In this class, we are going to layer watercolor, texture, and patterns to create these beautiful sampler pieces of art. I love experimenting with color and pattern and know you will love this too. This is such a fun way to experiment with colors and try out different mark-making techniques. I’m calling these samplers since they are reminiscent of vintage needlepoint samplers used to showcase color and needlepoint techniques.
In this class, I am going to show you my favorite ways to create a soft torn deckled edge for your art. I have a couple of techniques to show you and a few examples of each. I also have a framed piece of art to share with you so you can see how good the deckled edge looks custom framed with a mat behind it. I think you are really going to love creating these edges on your art!
I am so excited to bring you Duets! In this workshop, we'll learn to tell stories with our photos in a series.
In this class, I'm going to show you how I make these fun, layered, whimsical watercolor abstracts. We'll be doing a couple of interesting color palettes in class and I'll give you some ideas for coming up with color palettes for yourself if you are feeling stuck.
In this class, I have included a series of watercolor classes I originally created for Skillshare. There are 6 mini-classes included in this workshop. Watercolor Abstracts, Watercolor Abstract Samplers, Watercolor Ink & Botanicals. Watercolor Abstract Landscapes, Watercolor & Walnut Ink Abstracts, and Watercolor – Making Your Own Paint From Pigments.
In this class, I will show you my very favorite way to create some abstract art without the pressure we put on ourselves when we sit down to create. Now, every time I sit to create one of these – I’m truly pleased and pretty happy when I get up from my paint table. I know you’ll love creating these… I cannot wait to see your pieces!
In this class, we are going to take a deep dive into the world of color and color mixing. I want to share my love of color and get you excited about mixing custom colors and using interesting color palettes in your artwork.
In this class, we will be taking a deep dive into the world of oil paint and cold wax. I'll be showing you the supplies I use, a variety of projects to get you inspired, and we'll talk about how you finish up these types of pieces for display. Using oil paint mixed in with cold wax has been one of my favorite techniques for several years now. I love how thick and creamy the paint mixture is, I love that it is a matte finish and that it dries much faster than typical oil paint. It is a yummy mixture that spreads on like frosting and lets you get creative with the tools you use to apply it.

I am so excited to bring you Illustrated… a more advanced way to shoot photos that tell stories. If you took my Still Stories workshop… you’ll remember that we learned to come up with our own stories… then curate props to create that story we dreamed up. In this workshop… we’ll be using stories and books that already exist for our inspiration. And believe me… this was SO MUCH EASIER than thinking up my own random stories.
In this workshop, we are going to take all that practice and knowledge you learned and kick it up a notch. We are going to push our creativity further with studio shooting. I’m going to show you how I shoot flowers in my house in very small spaces, with natural light and studio lights. This is the perfect workshop for when you can’t get out to your favorite places or the botanical gardens to shoot. It eliminates all the excuses you give yourself for not practicing your photography because you can’t get out. And I love it since I don’t have to be outside when it’s too hot and I can shoot when it’s the middle of winter and it’s too cold.
In this workshop, we are going to deep dive into the art and the craft of making beautiful textures. You'll watch me create textures from scratch using a variety of techniques you'll love!
Welcome! I’m so excited to have you in this acrylic pour workshop. Fair warning – these pours are a bit addicting! I have continued to pour more pieces even after I wrapped up this workshop because once you are in the flow and having so much fun – it is kinda hard to stop! In this workshop, I am going to show you a ton of techniques that you are going to love experimenting with! So glad to have you in class. xoxo Denise
Welcome! I’m so excited to have you in this workshop on using Art Resin to create beautiful geode inspired art. I am pretty excited about the projects we have in this workshop and I cannot wait to see the geodes you end up creating!
Welcome! I’m so excited to have you in this mini-workshop on using Art Resin to finish out your photography. This is such a beautiful finish for your pieces when done correctly and less costly than custom framing. With a resin finish, you elevate your prints to mixed media pieces that are more custom and highly prized by art collectors. These pieces are ready to hang when finished and require no additional framing.
