Don't just copy.
Learn.
Most art courses tell you what to do, but don't teach you the skills to go it alone and create your own work.
That's where I differ.
Generic Online Courses
- Little explanation of the theory
- Can miss out the fundamental knowledge of materials and set up
- Omit 'tricks' and skip steps
- Fail to give your the tools you need to go alone
- Can leave you frustrated and confused
My Expert Courses
✔ Explanation of my material choices
✔ How to start any painting
✔ Explain the theory behind each choice
✔ Troubleshooting help for tricky areas
✔ Techniques clearly explained
✔ Set you up to create your own pieces!

Debbie's Results
"I've been learning with Emily for several years now and developed my realism skills with her. I'm confident to take on my own projects without help and can use the techniques and theory I've learned with Emily to create works of a professional standard!"
Techniques Library
The Creator Membership isn't just courses, I have a Techniques Library and a Theory area for you, too! In here, you can become your own artist and take on personal projects.
Pre-made Palettes
If you struggle to choose your pencil colours for a personal project, then dive into the suggested palette area. I have a whole array of palettes for different colours.
Values and Compression
Understand why tonal values are so important and how a scale should be used to plan your drawing. Why do we compress values and how can you?
Fur Techniques
A library of 10-20 minute technique videos that show you how to recreate the correct texture for your pet portraits. These mini courses are great for personal work.
Martin
"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!"
Dave's art journey
I found Emily's classes a few years ago and started with her beginners course. From there, I've done a whole range of courses that I wouldn't have thought possible.
My blending and fur techniques are unrecognisable from when I began and I'm busy framing my works to hang in the house!
