Are you yearning to discover more about coloured pencils and how to overcome some of the challenges they present, especially when you are starting your journey with them? I understand many of the challenges. I faced them too when I began with coloured pencils, and after a lifetime of drawing and well over a decade of using coloured pencils, I have put much of my experience and knowledge into online courses to help you build your drawing skills and confidence to draw realistic animals.
If you are just beginning with coloured pencils, I offer two practical courses to help you settle into this wonderful but sometimes challenging medium. One is a Coloured Pencil Toolkit with tips and techniques to start with, and the other is a Beginners Course.
The other courses cover a variety of subjects, from animals and birds to fur to specialty surfaces, photographing your artwork, artistic motivation, and much more!
These are one-off, self-study courses. You can move through them at your own pace, and you have access to the course for the duration of the platform's existence.

Three surfaces. Three courses. A world of creative possibilities.
Have you ever wondered how much your surface choice can affect your coloured pencil artwork?
The surface you work on can change how your pencils behave, how you build layers and the effects you can achieve.
In this three-course bundle, I'll guide you through working with Pastelmat, drafting film and black paper, helping you understand their unique qualities and discover new possibilities for your artwork.
Discover what makes each surface special
Pastelmat: Explore this beautifully textured surface, and learn to build rich layers of colour, depth and detail.
Drafting Film: Discover how to work on this smooth, translucent surface to achieve fine detail and beautiful effects.
Black Paper: Learn how to build colour, create contrast and use highlights to bring your subjects to life against a dark background.
Everything together in one convenient bundle
Each course includes:
A step-by-step drawing tutorial.
A reference photograph.
A complete materials list.
Practical demonstrations and guidance for each surface.
I use Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils in my demonstrations, but I can supply a colour conversion chart if needed.
More than just three drawing tutorials
My aim is to help you understand how different surfaces influence your coloured pencil techniques, so you can confidently choose the right one for your own artwork.
Together, the three courses let you explore, compare and revisit the lessons whenever you need them, building your knowledge and confidence along the way.
Three courses. One bundle. AUD $47.
