We would love to have you as a guest instructor for our 2025 Workshop Series!

We are inviting only 4 colored pencil instructors to create a simple step-by-step for beginner artists, one for each month in 2025 in a mini-workshop series. We believe that this will help grow this medium and help you find new students/followers. With your guidance, more colored pencil artists can find a mentor and advance their art skills!

Not only will you be published in our magazine, we will promote your article on our social media platforms, website, and in our newsletter. We will provide the copy editing and will email you a proof before printing. You will also receive a free print, digital, and exclusive discount to purchase additional print copies.
