"I’ve really enjoyed every minute and have some wonderful pictures which I now display proudly on my walls at home or gifts to friends and family. I will always want to continue with the guidance provided as I still have lots to learn but have now gained the confidence to start experimenting with my own independent pieces."

Martin's Story

Emily has transformed me from never holding a pastel pencil to creating wonderful wild cats that friends want to purchase in less than 12 months! Her methodical workbooks to perfect step by step videos allow anyone to create beautiful paintings that you will want to hang on your wall. 

After 12 months and only 11 pastel paintings friends were suggesting I set up a local exhibition and open my own gallery! 

Never touched a pastel pencil?
