Learn how to draw realistic light & shadow.

This course will change the way you draw. You'll understand why some of your previous drawings/paintings have turned out looking flat and what to do about it. 

The Shading Course is the very best I have to offer from 10+ years of teach experience, in person and online. I will guide you through 30 exercises that help you develop an intuitive sense of light and realism. 

Understanding light is a superpower – I am excited to see what you'll create with it!  

All lessons and assignment videos have subtitles in 🇪🇸 Spanish and 🇺🇸 English.
