Hello Friends,

It's funny how we all learn differently. Some of us like self-paced tutorials. Others need a little more help and feedback. Whether you prefer workshops, moving at your own pace, or learning with a group of fellow artists, I hope the opportunities listed below will be helpful! Scroll lower to learn more.

Coming Feb. 7 Kestrel Tutorial This will be a self-paced tutorial. I am presently editing video (and very much enjoying it!) Release Date: This tutorial will be ready for you to enjoy on Friday, February 7. I will be in touch with a link to access the tutorial.

We all Learn Differenty!
