About ten years ago I picked up a set of coloured pencils because I desperately needed something just for me. Something that would quieten those grumbly, unkind voices in my head and make me feel like me again.

And honestly? It worked. My head went quiet, I got completely lost in it, and somewhere along the way I realised I was actually pretty good at this. Which was a bit of a surprise, given that at seventeen I was told to forget about art and I’d believed that for nearly thirty years!

Two years later I started teaching, and I haven’t stopped since. Because if picking up a pencil could do that for me, I wanted everyone to have a go 🙂

What We’ll cover Together

Layering

Every drawing teaches you how to create texture that looks real.

We'll use my Global Layering Method where we work across the whole drawing, colour by colour.

We’ll look at how colours work together and why lights and darks are what take a drawing from flat to “wow.”

This is what makes everything feel solid. Once it clicks, you’ll see every drawing differently.

What if I can’t make the live sessions?

No worries at all! Every session replay goes straight into your Coloured Pencil Week Site so you can catch up whenever suits you. You’ll have access to everything until 8th June, so there’s plenty of time to draw at your own pace. And if you join Ignite, you keep access to all the recordings for as long as you’re a member!

Where do I find everything?

The moment you sign up you’ll get a welcome email with a direct link to your Coloured Pencil Week Site.

Inside you’ll find your session calendar, line drawings, reference photos, materials lists and all your replays. Everything in one lovely organised place, no hunting around!

What if I don’t have all the materials on the list?

Please don’t panic! You’ll get a full materials list and pre-session guide in advance so you can be completely prepared. That said, I’d always encourage you to draw with what you already have.

I’ll guide you through colour selections during the week and you can substitute similar shades from your own collection. You absolutely do not need to rush out and buy new pencils!
