Who is this class for?

If you're a perfectionist, and you wish to create more freely I encourage you to join me in the class.

You do no need any experience with sketching, watercolor painting, or water-soluble pencils to join. 

You'll learn how to create realistic figures that aren't perfect, and still very beautiful, with a satisfying and rewarding process you can get fully relax into. 

This is why water-soluble graphite pencils are so magical. They're simple to use, and so forgiving all at once.
