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.

Watercolour is the medium I return to again and again. It is fluid, expressive, and full of beautiful surprises, and I love sharing just how accessible it can be.

 

These courses are perfect if you would like to learn watercolour in a relaxed, beginner-friendly way. They are colourful, joyful, and designed to help you build confidence while enjoying the process of painting.

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.

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.
