Finally, you’ve reached a point in your life where you can dedicate time to something just for you! You’ve picked up new pencils and a beautiful art pad, but when you sit down to draw, you might feel uninspired, unsure where to begin, or frustrated because your drawings don’t look the way you imagined. It’s easy to doubt your abilities and feel like giving up.

What do Cindy’s Clients Say?

I am so grateful to have had Cindy as my coach for the last few years. During this time, Cindy has helped me to develop my skills far more than I would have dreamed possible. Her methods and course are comprehensive, coupled with a friendly and encouraging teaching style. Cindy gently guides me in my choice of projects so that I am constantly challenged, but also working at an appropriate level for my current skill level. The personal video critiques that I receive regularly are invaluable to my learning. I would highly recommend Cindy’s mentoring and coaching to anyone wanting to learn to draw.

Peta Turner - Australia

I can’t believe I have invented 3 characters and drawn a castle that looks good. Thank you for all the help and advice I really couldn’t have gotten my drawing to where it is now, it probably wouldn’t exist if you hadn’t helped me. I couldn’t do any of this without your help and advice. Mentoring has been the best thing for me, so thank you. I’m starting to get excited to see the final work completed.

Brenda Dyball - UK

I love the joy I feel while working on these beautiful projects. And then being able to share them with people who understand.

Ann Petrochko - USA

I have said this before, but honestly I can’t say it emphatically enough – YOU are the reason I am even considering myself as an artist. I know I have A LOT to learn, but I can actually now visualize myself illustrating my own stories

Shirin Shamsi – USA

You guided me so well through my first clumsy artworks to my later more accomplished pieces. You know exactly what a drawing needs and your instincts and advice are invaluable!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need previous drawing experience?

My online coaching, courses, and community are perfect for you, even if you’re a complete beginner.

Am I too old to learn to draw?

I’ve had the joy of teaching people as young as 92! It’s never too late to begin your artistic journey.

I haven’t drawn anything since I was a child. Is this for me?

Yes, absolutely. Drawing is a fun, relaxing and rewarding activity for adults of all ages.

How often do I have to draw? Do I have enough time?

You might be surprised at how many little blocks of time you have for your art lifestyle. I’ll help you reclaim that time and create a schedule that fits your life. Even 15 minutes a day can lead to meaningful progress.

But there’s no pressure; you can draw as often or as little as you like, at your own pace.

Will I be able to keep up?

I’ll work with you to create a personalized study path that you can follow at your own pace. We’ll regularly review the plan to ensure you’re making progress.

I've always wanted to draw but I'm afraid I'm a lost cause.

With over 30 years of experience, I can confidently say you are never a lost cause!

If you show up, put pencil to paper, follow my guidance, and apply the corrections I suggest, you’ll soon be drawing with confidence.

You’ll also be part of a warm, caring community where everyone understands what it’s like to be a beginner. Here, we respect, encourage, and support one another as we learn, improve, and celebrate every step of the journey together.

What if I don't have any imagination?

Don’t worry! I have a simple three-stage process that will ignite your creativity and help you come up with your own original creations; even if you feel like you don’t have any imagination.

Do I need expensive art materials?

I’ll help you choose art materials that fit your budget, whatever it may be. When you’re just starting out, I often recommend the most affordable options to get you going.

I've got shaky hands!

This can often be managed by using sketching techniques and soft edges. I may be able to recommend technique options to suit your level of physical ability.

How soon can I expect to improve?

Most people see improvements in their drawing skills after their first few lessons.

Do I need to have my own art studio?

You can easily begin drawing right at your kitchen table if you don’t have a dedicated space for drawing.

Your new drawing lifestyle awaits you
