Denise Soden

Hello everyone! My name is Denise Soden. I am a wildlife watercolorist, educational content creator, and pigment nerd located in Salem, Oregon. I've been captivated by both art and animals since before I can remember. I began drawing as soon as I could hold a crayon and spent my second birthday at a local zoo where I would later become the education manager. I also spent much of my young adult life as a hobbyist photographer, and in 2013, I fulfilled my lifelong dream of traveling to Botswana to photograph the some of the most amazing animals that we share our planet with. I now take that love for wildlife and share it through watercolor as a full time artist and content creator.

In addition to YouTube, I create casual, real-time tutorials on Patreon and professional, detailed classes on Skillshare. I also have custom watercolor palettes available with Da Vinci Paint Co. located in the United States.
