Description
A Good Place to Start
Just the Basics is designed for beginners who want to learn to draw without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll get access to 10 carefully selected tutorials covering coloured pencil, watercolour pencil and graphite, including my popular beginner’s ladybird course.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Each tutorial is broken down into manageable stages. I explain what I’m doing and why, so you can understand the techniques rather than simply copying what you see. Every stage also has matching real-time footage, so you can draw along at your own pace. You can pause, rewind and revisit the tutorials whenever you like while your membership is active.
Everything You Need to Get Started
Each tutorial comes with downloadable resources:
- Reference photos
- Light sketch outlines to print, and heavy sketch outlines to trace
- Colour swatches
- Materials lists
You can spend less time preparing and more time drawing.
A Smaller Membership
No new tutorials are added to Just the Basics, so it works well if you’d like to try my teaching style first. You can cancel at any time, and there are no hidden fees or minimum terms.
