Australian fine art coloured pencil artist who has been published in the US Colored Pencil magazine numerous times and has custom drawings in collections worldwide. I teach the art of realism to students ranging from the utmost beginner to experts looking to improve their knowledge and skills in the coloured pencil medium. It's only taken me two years to reach this level of hyper-realism and I want to teach other how to do this much quicker.

Definitely a good match. The lessons were very clear and one of the best lessons on colored pencils I have come across. I would definitely take another course from Sheldene Fine Art. Thank you for taking the time to create this course.

Excellent ! I go through the entire course. Just finished today, and it was a blessing. I've always fear of the colors, find the right thing to put on this etc. Thanks to Sheldene, im more confident, in my coloring skills. Sometimes during the course, i had to redo some exercices, cause i wasnt satisfied with the resul or the texturing (the apple exercice was the only one ^^), but the more i advanced, the more Sheldene was reassuring by her method. And it works, i think i've never coloring in a realistic way. so its my first time, and i'm so proud for choosing this course and to see that even i could achieve this performance ahah. So thank you Sheldene, thank you so much, im so happy in this evening. If, and i hope, you offers another course for intermediate artists about this coloring method, i will be there !
And you, if you read these lines, and want to step up your game, follow the course, you'll not regret it !

It was a perfect match for what I have needed. She covers some areas I needed help with that I havent seen elsewhere such as how to use wax and oil coloured pencils together and the highlights, colour swatching and how to use those to choose the colours for your drawing and texturing.
