Hello! This series of posts will hopefully give you a quick look at our classes by category. For this one:

Procreate with Lewis Rossignol
If you use already Procreate or would like to, this is opportunity to learn from an artist who uses it as an art tool. Lewis shows us how he integrates it with his analog work seamlessly. No experience needed but a basic understanding of layers is helpful.
“What an extraordinary, informative and inspiring course! Wonderful creativity and encouragement to take risks. Thank you!” — Valerie J.
