“Recently I purchased the intro course for my family, and I just have to tell you how wonderful it is! My daughter is 8 years old and an aspiring artist. She BEGS to do your videos, and I am beginning to see such advancement in her art. THANK YOU for creating such a thorough resource for teachers like myself who have zero training in the field of drawing. ”

“I think my favorite thing about this drawing course is the friendly, safe way you talk to the students...I think it creates a healthy, non-pressured environment. I also love that it allows me to watch the students and help them individually a bit better, since you’re doing the main teaching of the lesson. Thank you!”

“I attended your workshop and just bought your course. I am so excited! Brush drawing has been a point of angst for my form 1B kiddo and myself this year and I love the levity, focus, and simplicity you bring to your lessons.”

“We are only a few lessons in, but I love the creative prompts at the end. My young boys aren’t huge fans of working on their technique, so the creative outlet at the end gives them a chance to move outside of pure brush stroke practice (although of course the prompt is still brush stroke practice, just disguised as their own creation). This isn’t a subject that comes easily to me, and my boys can become frustrated quickly. Having your cheerful, confident, brief videos that we can watch repeatedly when necessary has been a big improvement for our drawing lessons. Thank you!”

“We are so excited to be working through your course. We’ve only done a few lessons together with my kids. It was easy to follow and helped me realize that brushdrawing should be precise but doesn’t have to be a long slow process. My children (7&9) are enjoying it. They were really excited to give charcoal a try.

Thanks for this gift!! ”

“My daughter (6) and I are really enjoying the course! I love that the videos are so short and concise - we watch a couple of times and then just practise. I can see already that my daughter is developing her skill in controlling the brush. I asked my daughter and she said she likes being able to make a flower with brushstrokes, it’s like she’s unlocked a new power!

Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos. We always look forward to these lessons!

“I’ve watched a number of the videos in your course in preparation but we did the first session today. My 5, 8, and 11 year olds all followed along and my 2.5 year old painted her own thing. I’m very pleased so far! I love how everyone could participate at their own level and the fact that practice and building muscle and learning skills is very obviously the goal. Still, everyone was pleased with what they painted and thought it was beautiful. That’s a double win in my book. I appreciate your clarity and encouragement. You make it very accessible and we are looking forward to more lessons.”

“Thank you for the delightful course. We are doing a little every week. It’s a bit chaotic with the 22 month old also wanting a go and a 6 year old who wants just to paint!! But my daughter is enjoying the structure and having someone else teach her (I must just keep my mouth shut!)””

“Our family has really loved starting your course and learning some techniques with our brushes. We’ve really grown in confidence and tried using brush drawing to make our Christmas cards this year. Even my three year old is starting to have a go and copy her big sister.

A friend of mine is also using your course with her son and we’ve enjoyed exchanging photos of our progress and encouraging one another in our efforts. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

“My son and I are LOVING your course. He has some difficulty with spatial awareness, which can make handwriting frustrating for him. This is enjoyable for him while also developing more strength in his hands.

He’s also much happier to paint something from nature now, and we’re only a few lessons in. The simple techniques definitely build confidence—we also notice the j curves in everything now :).

It’s also renewing my love for painting, which I haven’t done for about twenty years. Thank you for making your videos so easy to fit into a school day. It allows us to enjoy more of the variety CM methods aim for.
