In 1969 John Howard Sanden was appointed to the teaching faculty of the Art Students League, New York. He founded The Portrait Institute in 1974 and began touring the nation, teaching his ideas and techniques to thousands. In 1979, Sanden launched the National Portrait Seminar, which grew to be the largest art seminar program in America. He has completed more than five hundred portraits of prominent figures in American public, professional and business life.

John says, "I have worked exclusively with the marvelous Silver brushes since I first discovered them a decade ago. I am particularly devoted to the Silverstone bristle filberts and those delicious Renaissance sables. I believe that these Silver brushes are the finest artists’ brushes available today. I’ve recommended them enthusiastically in my seminars and workshops, and in my books."
