Hi, I am Teresa from Australia. I started taking art classes a few years ago as a break from the kids!!! and discovered I lneeded to learn how to draw if I had any chance of painting something decent, then I actually discovered I love drawing with ink pens. It is pretty hard finding art classes on ink pens. So here I am!!! I am also excited to do more drawing with pencils, I’d love to get some use out of my colours pencils and water colour.

Welcome Teresa from Downunder. I have been with the VI since 2014. In my opinion, you have made an excellent choice in an instructor!!👍👍 Matt’s talent in the use of the different art mediums is unsurpassed. He is a wonderful teacher and can explain the hows and whys in a way that you can understand. Just by watching him you can tell “He Loves to Teach”! Again, WELCOME!! 😄😄😄

Hi Teresa! I am from Australia also. At the moment doing Matt’s “24 Days to better Drawing”. Good course that maybe you would find very useful.
