WELCOME TO THE PENCIL ROOM

Are you learning to draw but feel like you're not improving?

Learning on your own is difficult, especially if you don't know what to practice.

If you want to get better at drawing I can help by:

  • Teaching you the fundamental skills needed for all types of drawing
  • Motivating you with practical drawing projects
  • Changing the way you see when you draw

Hi, I'm Emily Armstrong. I'm a professional drawing teacher with a Masters degree in Art & Design. I've developed my drawing courses from years of experience helping adults to overcome common drawing mistakes and challenges.

Learning to draw just takes time, practice and good tuition. I can help you get there!
