Are These Challenges in Drawing

Holding You Back?

Not Getting Better at Drawing?

•You’ve been practicing, but you’re not seeing improvement. It’s frustrating when your hard work doesn’t show in your art. With this course, you’ll learn a new way of seeing that makes a real difference in your drawings.

Don’t Know Where to Start?

I’ll guide you step-by-step, starting with the basics and building your skills as you go.

Having Trouble with Shading, Shapes, or Space?
•Shading, negative space, and shapes can be confusing.
I make these concepts easy to understand and apply, no matter your experience.

This course helps you focus on your own progress, step by step.

Creative Journeys Shared:

Art Student: Rachel Proffitt

Sheila’s passion as an artist creates an environment that inspires those she teaches to better their skills, showcasing her own exceptional artistic abilities as a source of inspiration.
There is no better teacher to help cultivate those techniques, given her remarkable skill as an artist.

Art Student: James P.

Sheila found a way to teach something that might be considered boring by many in a way that I didn't even realize I was being taught.
She provided a dedicated space--a bubble--where I could shut out the outside world and just lose track of time and focus.
I think she just has a personality that is equally engaging and makes me want to listen and focus on what's being said.

Artist: Sharon Moers

I have known Sheila since 2017 when we took classes in Umbria Italy.
She was an art teacher for her career and was extremely generous with me by sharing her art skills, and tips - even sending me a drawing book. She is a wonderful human being as well as a talented artist and teacher.
I have taken classes with her regarding horses and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I highly
recommend taking classes with her.
