Drawing (online)
'TIME For You to RELAX and LET GO...'
Imagine having a way to RELAX, LET GO and REPLENISH, AND a way to EXPRESS yourself and 'see' JOY in life, like you did as a child. This is how drawing is therapeutic and I invite you to learn the skills of it in this online course (see base of page for other online options).

"I really really enjoyed the online course. One of the best things I've done for ages" Jo F.
"Thank you so much for offering these wonderful courses, they are of great value to me" Shona McLaren |
You gain the foundation skills of drawing step by step, by working through the 'Drawing for Everyone Online Foundation Course'. Over 7 weeks* (or longer if you wish), you work through a series of six projects using demonstration videos and written material with pictures. Each project becomes increasingly more challenging. Never fear though, because you can ask me questions at any time over your one year of course membership.
Alongside the projects, you will be guided through a meditation to ensure that you preserve and develop your own unique way of expressing yourself through drawing, so that by the time you're done working through this course, you'll be in love with drawing. The introductory class and first project class of this ONLINE course are now available FREE - sign up through the link below...
MY GIFT TO YOU in these crazy times - Enjoy! |

“Just to say thank you so much for this course, it is so relaxing to deal with, especially when one can go back to the subject over a longer length of time in order to correct (hopefully) where needed. Fantastic session on-line and much easier to understand as you progress through the subject. Joanne, you have done a fabulous job with these classes and the feedback and assessments have been honest and encouraging. Only a good tutor can bring out the best in a student. I look forward to future classes with you. Well done.” Lesley P

"Thank you for being such a guiding hand to me... I love all forms of art and have been happy with my progress in other media, but drawing has eluded me and I really thought it was a talent you either had or you didn’t. However you have proved me wrong. I now have confidence that I could draw almost anything. When I attempted my first clumsy drawing of a leaf within an oval, I really thought I would never get it. Yet I amazed myself when I completed Scruffy, the cuddly teddy bear a few weeks later. Your gentle but direct manner has encouraged and taught me how I can draw..."
