I’m a coloured pencil artist and teacher, and I didn’t grow up thinking I was any good at art. I had to figure this medium out slowly, layer by layer, mistake by mistake.
That’s why I teach the way I do.
Inside Ignite, I don’t rush, I don’t gloss over the tricky bits, and I don’t assume you should “just know” something. I show you how coloured pencils actually behave, how to control them, and how to build drawings in a way that feels logical instead of frustrating.
I’ve taught thousands of artists around the world, and Ignite is where all of that experience comes together.
If you want clear teaching, proper structure, and someone in your corner who tells it to you straight,
Ignite is for you.
Yes. Usually, with any tutorial I create I have asked specific permission from the photographer or the photo is from a site such as Pixabay. If I don't have permission then I will let you know. You are welcome to share on your social media sites, create prints and sell the original. All I ask is that you credit the photographer and me.
