Today’s session was extremely challenging to the point of not being particularly enjoyable. I had to leave earlier because of an urgent situation but I found the subject extremely difficult today.

A wonderful class where Irene shows the way whilst giving valuable techniques and tips. Very enjoyable

Thank you for a really lovely class, like you said I probably wouldn't have chosen to attempt to draw that photo of the crystal but as a beginner it was great to just be able to experiment and ask questions and be in a supportive environment. I do love charcoal as a medium.

Excellent course! I really enjoyed taking time out to get back to drawing. Wonderful tutor, she takes time to explain how to develop shadowing in a particular areas. Definitely returning while I'm still working from home.

Irene is amazing. The class is easy to follow and she gives very clear guideline how to draw. I'm so happy with my drawing I did.

I've never used charcoal before yesterday but Irene was very clear with her guidance. Her multiscreen tech use was very impressive and much more sophisticated than some Zoom lessons I've done. I am very pleased with the drawing I did!
