Unlimited lifetime access to all Makings and Musings Courses

My courses are designed for you to begin straight away, with instant access and the freedom to learn entirely at your own pace.

 

Each course focuses on a specific skill or material, so you can dive deeply into areas such as watercolour, coloured pencil, or portraiture whenever you feel ready.

Colour Pencil Courses

When I first started coloured pencil drawing I completely fell in love with this medium, and I still find it such a calming and rewarding way to create. The small, gentle movements feel mindful and soothing, while the medium itself is wonderfully versatile, colourful, and full of possibility.

 

These courses are perfect if you would like to build confidence with coloured pencils and develop your skills further. I will guide you towards creating rich, detailed, and more realistic drawings that feel both expressive and full of life.

Line & Wash Courses

In these courses, I will show you a technique I absolutely love called line and wash. The line is a waterproof ink drawing, and the wash is watercolour layered over the top.

 

By combining the two, you get the structure and guidance of a drawing, alongside the softness and movement of the paint. It is a beautiful balance that helps your watercolour feel more confident, expressive, and much easier to control, while still keeping that lovely sense of flow.

Courses for Animal Lovers:

In these courses, we explore the beauty of the animal world through different materials and approaches. Gouache is perfect for bold, colourful paintings with strong shapes and expressive marks, while alcohol markers and coloured pencils allow for more detailed, realistic work with delicate texture and depth.

 

I really love drawing and painting animals, and I know many of you do too. There is something so grounding about observing the natural world and bringing it to life on the page.

Landscapes

I absolutely love working with landscapes, and watercolour is often my medium of choice for them. It is a wonderful space to play with colour, atmosphere, and mood, and to gently shift what you see into something that feels more personal.

 

Not everything needs to be a direct copy of reality. Instead, you can begin to interpret what is in front of you and bring your own feeling and perspective into the work.I love that balance between observation and imagination, where you can still recognise a place, but it is filtered through your own artistic voice.
