ONLINE CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Each course is designed to make the best use of the Online format: Displaying detailed techniques and my drawing expertise right in front of the participant's eyes. The classes are recorded and made accessible to the students after each class to reinforce the learning content. After 25 years of teaching, my methods are constantly reevaluated and improved to be effectively adapted to an online platform. My students are very happy with this format and I am pleased with the work that results from it. I feel that for my medium, colored pencils, this is the best way to teach. -Lisa
