Love Denise's classes.....they definitely push me to let go and just be creative and learn more about the mediums and materials that are being worked with.  Really let go and used the materials in ways that have not been done before in the work that is being done.  Built layers.....drew with the chunky graphite first....then did the graphite watercolor....the stencils using matte paint and in the midst did some mark making with ink.  Felt liberating!
