I highly encourage this course as an essential basic building block in your art journey. When I bought this course, I was completely alien to colouring and never heard of the colour wheel and concepts of light and shadow. The best part is you can do this at your own pace, anywhere in the world - just a reliable internet connection is needed and your screen to learn and apply the homework assigned in each module so you can move forward with confidence in using coloured pencils with flair. Lisa has structured her courses so that you can think independently like an artist, and make decisions that artists face, like matching colours with pencils - enroll and you won't regret it! There's a very helpful community as well and personalised follow up on your artistic coloured pencil endeavour. Be warned - Lisa Mitrokhin's classes can get addicting!! I've bought every class of hers with much delight and pride in my progress so fast!

This course strengthened my knowledge and expanded the tools and techniques I use daily in my coloring and drawing work. The fundamental of color theory, light and shadow placement are a great help in understanding how to portray a 3D image on a 2D surface. Great investment of time and resources!

Yes, this course definitely teaches how to use colored pencils like a pro, but there is so much more. Lisa is not only an amazing artist. She is also a wonderful teacher who teaches her students to think, trust yourself and understand the basis. This course is for you if you want to enable yourself to make your own artistic decisions rather and not rely on step-by-step color alongs with exact pencil numbers. I was amazed what I, a complete beginner who didn't hold a pencil since I was a kid, was able to make with Lisa's guidance.
