Dannelly Studio

Absolultely wonderful class!

Helen’s workshop helped me approach my abstract paintings with a new level of sophistication.. Even though I've been painting for many years, I learned so much and had my eyes opened to new ways to approach color in my work.

Helen is a compassionate, welcoming instructor. She makes you feel comfortable no matter what level artist you may be. Don’t hesitate, enjoy the color knowledge that you will gain.

I’ve loved the class, have been surprised and humbled by how much I didn’t know and how much there is to know about color.

Thanks for the help and encouragement. You are right in saying that I will never forget the concepts of this lesson! I love how academic these classes have been. Right up there with college classes.

I want to say how much I’m enjoying this workshop. You are an excellent teacher and the curriculum you’re sharing is helping me to grow by leaps and bounds.

Her classes are lively, she is well prepared and very knowledgeable, and the pacing of the lessons are doable for those with even the busiest of schedules. A perfect workshop to steer your creativity in a new, fascinating direction!

The class was well paced and definitely got me thinking more about shapes, how sculptures could be built, color vs minimal color and materials... You and class members gave me a lot of much needed confidence that my ideas are valid and that I should continue to explore and trust myself. I think it's the most important thing I could learn!

If you have a penchant for encaustic and you've wanted to explore making 3-D sculptures with the medium, this is the perfect introductory class! Helen thoroughly explains step-by-step how to envision and bring to life the forms and structures that are the foundation of your piece, and the process of adding encaustic and other substances to embellish and finish your work and make it gallery ready.

This is an excellent workshop. Highly recommend!

Awesome workshop - my head is spinning with new inspiration and ideas!

Helen was very thorough in her explanations and demonstrations. I feel more confident about my painting abilities and my eye sees colors in nature much more clearly.
