Share what I’ve learned
After creating two watercolour courses, I felt inspired to share my knowledge of a medium I have been particularly fond of for many years: water-soluble pastels, espacially Neocolor II from Caran d'Ache. Despite their incredible versatility, there are still very few learning resources available for them today.
In my search for even more texture, spontaneity and vibrancy in colour, these pastels quickly became an essential part of my artistic practice, allowing me to expand my creative possibilities. Through this course, I invite you to discover them for yourself!

For the first time, I've created a private community space just for students on this course. Here, you can share your artwork and inspiration, support and encourage one another, and ask questions about materials or your creative practice in general.
Over the summer, I'll be sharing updates and inspiration with you through the community.
