What Students Have To Say About My Courses & Workshops

  • Every lesson is well-organized and planned with tons of helpful resources.

    Florals for Products course is perfect for anyone wanting to get started in digital graphics. The course is well-paced, starting with many basics of Procreate and drawing from references. It progresses to include more detailed drawings with variety, working with fabulous color palettes, and then to create a final bouquet ready for printing. Denise is very knowledgeable and experienced.

  • It was an incredibly enriching experience!

    I recently had the pleasure of taking Denise’s Perfect Match workshop. Denise’s guidance was clear, concise, and filled with expert tips that made the learning process enjoyable and accessible. I truly loved all the included handouts as well! By the end of the workshop, I not only felt confident in my ability to create stunning floral designs digitally but also gained a deeper appreciation for the intricate details of floral arrangements. This workshop has truly expanded my creative horizons, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the intersection of digital art and nature-inspired design.

  • I really liked learning about your method of putting together florals for a composition.

    I love drawing florals but it can be so hard to know what to draw and what things to put together. I really enjoyed learning this technique for not only picking florals, but making compositions. I'll definitely be coming back to this!!!

  • The layouts and the field guide were so useful! And communicating and getting feedback on Basecamp was priceless!

    Loved the workshop! the layouts were great visuals and I love the field guide. I’m using them all the time as I’m creating my floral illustrations. Can’t wait for more workshops like this one!

    Denise’s class has answered so many questions. Thank you so much!

    I started my design education in Illustrator and then I discovered Procreate and wanted to learn how to use my motifs created on my iPad in Photoshop.

  • Dip your toes into drawing digitally by learning to create leaf shapes in Procreate!

    I learned a few of the many differences between how you approach a digital drawing from my usual medium. I like the ability to divide the drawing into layers, so that if you get one layer perfect, but need to work on the others, there is less lost time.

  • Easy to follow and informative lessons.

    I appreciated your step by step process and telling us what brushes you were using and the size of brush AND how you set the size of brush etc This was a new trick for me to learn, thanks! It Extended my knowledge in Procreate.
