Art Instruction in Colored Pencil

It’s no longer necessary to spend years in art school or travel long distances to workshops to get art instruction in colored pencil.

As much fun as workshops and in-person classes can be, and as in-depth as art school, they’re not for every artist. The fact of the matter is that in today’s market, those learning opportunities probably aren’t for most of us.

Nor do we all learn at the same speed or in the same ways.

So I’m very pleased to offer a variety of opportunities for you to get art instruction in colored pencil from a variety of artists, myself included!
