Advanced Level
This self-paced course teaches advanced colored pencil techniques through detailed video lessons, focusing on creating realistic food-themed drawings like cherries, a burger, and a cupcake. Each week, learners will receive a video tutorial that guides them step-by-step through the drawing process, emphasizing key skills such as texture, shading, and color blending. My teaching style is clear and supportive, with thorough explanations and real-time demonstrations. Although the course is self-paced, learners can interact with me by submitting their work for feedback and asking questions (available Saturdays and Sundays).
