What My Students Are Saying
Kirsty has helped me create amazing drawings on my own!
Instead of telling us just what to do, she tells us the priciples behind, the WHY. When a few key principles are drilled over and over, it becomes clear that the same principles actually applies to all drawings.

More valuable than my Art Degree!
I learned so much in this course and am still learning from it as I watch parts again. I wish I had courses like this when I attended University, I would have been so much more confident as an artist and saved a ton of money. Thank you Kirsty for all the hard work and endless hours given to create this absolute Gem!

The best colour pencil course I have ever come across
I have done courses in colour pencil before and I have read books but this course is the most extensive, detailed and clear. I found the section on choosing colours the most helpful along with the order of layers for portraits in particular. I have been nervous about attempting portraits of dogs with long hari, even though I have drawn dogs with short hair but now feel confident. Thanks!

Immediate improvement in my artistic efforts!
Kirsty’s gifted ability to teach others how to quickly improve their drawing, whether a novice or a professional artist, is simply amazing. Her Coloured Pencil Academy is fantastic, allowing people to move at their own pace, creating an online experience where over 400 artists can share their work, encourage each other, and enhance the learning process – this is absolutely fantastic!
