“Dena's course is excellent! Her love and enthusiasm for drawing is contagious. The course is well structured, super informative, and just plain fun! I haven't finished going through the course yet, but am already seeing such improvement in my skills. Highly recommended! ”

“Ms. Ackerman says to…” is often heard in our art room (formally known as dining room) as we practice. Your course is excellent! Easy to follow, encouraging tone, well thought out content.”

“I bought a set of colour pencils over a year ago and watched quite a few videos, but they either had complex explanations or no explanations at all. I took a short workshop, but it was far too short and I didn't see much progress or understanding. Then, I found Dena's course…. The videos are of great quality and the explanations are clear and easy to understand. Dena explains her thinking and painting process really well, which is something I hardly ever found. So far, I'm happy with my progress; now I understand what I'm doing and why.”

“Dena’s Draw Anything with Colored Pencils has been transformational for our 11-year-old daughter. It’s given her focus and very systematic habits when it comes to drawing and concentration. My wife and I have been amazed at some of the drawings, and we have learned to stop asking: “did you really draw that yourself?” We invested in some proper colored pencils once we saw our daughter was serious about developing her art skills. It’s been a great experience, watching the progress.”

“When Dena said in her introduction that she hoped we would see things differently, I thought that was a nice "pitch" but it is actually what has happened to me! I now look at things and see how light reflects, where shadows fall, and I see more colors in an object than I would normally. I look at many things with an eye to how I would draw them. I actually got so fascinated by a gleaming hub cap, I was tempted to try drawing it! I have learned so much about layering and blending colors and how to draw in proportion! Dena's lessons are so easy to follow. She takes you through how to create your drawing from start to finish so you can see the step-by-step process. These lessons have really brought out my inner artist in a such a short time. I am having a great time and get "lost" in time while I am drawing. I can't wait to see what Dena's next series will teach me!”
