Free Mini Lesson

A studio-style mini lesson focused on confidence, not perfection

Summary

This free mini lesson invites you into my studio for a relaxed, real-time pastel paint-along. You’ll watch my process as it unfolds and learn how I approach a piece, build layers and depth, and make adjustments along the way. The focus is on confidence, flow, and trusting your eye — without pressure or perfection.

What You’ll Learn:
- How to approach a pastel piece with more confidence
- Ways to build depth and layers while staying loose
- How I make decisions as I work and adjust when things feel off
- How to enjoy the process instead of overthinking every mark

Who This Lesson Is For:
- Artists who feel stuck, hesitant, or unsure where to begin
- Pastel artists wanting to loosen up and gain confidence
- Anyone craving a calm, supportive paint-along experience
- Artists who want to learn by watching a real process unfold

Materials:
You’re welcome to use whatever pastels and surface you already have. This lesson is about approach and confidence, not having the “perfect” supplies.
