I wanted to thank you for giving verbal instructions as well as demonstration. I'm a blind artist, and find most tutorials unhelpful because they rely on visual instructions

Thank you so much! Just signed up for a month to see how i get on with it 😊

Thank you for a great tutorial! I'm currently learning the basics of soft pastel drawing and find your teaching very clear and thorough!

You are one of the best online teachers I’ve come across, so much information and explanations on why you’re doing something, well done! Keep it up! ❤

I draw pastel butterflies all the time. Observing the realistic shades is one of my best lessons. Then although a butterfly is very "pixelated" some colors indeed seem to blend together while some edges are razor sharp! Lovely blue monarch.
