I'm so delighted you're here!

My mission is to help as many people as possible learn to draw with coloured pencils, increase their confidence and realise their dreams.
So many people tell me they can’t draw. I’m here to show you can, and to teach you how to draw the most amazing coloured pencil portraits.
