What Our Community Says
Real experiences from students and artists who have taken part in my workshops.
I haven’t drawn for a few years, but thought I knew all about pencils. I was wrong – Carleen’s workshop taught me so many new things. I’m now excited to draw again.

We did the “Pencil Week Workshop” as a family. It was great fun and really brought us together. The amount of content was impressive and I’d definitely do another.

Carleen is really friendly and patient. The step-by-step instructions are great and I love being able to learn at my own pace.
