Monet’s Garden”
I am so delighted to have embarked on an amazing trip to Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France. Erin is delightful, her course is affordable, straightforward and stress-free learning from one’s own environment, at one’s own pace is a perfect combination. I’ve surprised myself at my achievements! I can’t wait to continue travelling & sketching. A satisfying experience from my desk in New Zealand 🇳🇿 during 3 difficult months of lockdown.

CLASSES - Aquarelle Pencil.
(Best Place to start)

If you are new to sketching this first group, beginning with Aquarelle Pencils is a good way to start.
Just follow each graphic and copy what you see. Just sketch in your own way.
