Learn to Draw and Color with Cindy Wider

You absolutely can learn to draw. It’s never too late. I help retired women open up to new creative purpose in their lives through drawing.

If you’re retired (or considering retirement) and you’d love to learn how to draw, color and create art in a fun, happy and supportive community with other women, you’re exactly in the right place.

You’ll discover how to make the best decisions on what you do (and don’t) need to get started drawing.

I’ll help you learn how to draw and colour with coloured pencils, graphite pencils, inks, paints, inktense, watercolour pencils, charcoal and so much more.

My easy-to-learn draw-alongs and color-alongs are all in bite-sized short courses that will teach you from the very start.

I am so grateful to have had Cindy as my coach for the last few years. During this time, Cindy has helped me to develop my skills far more than I would have dreamed possible. Her methods and course are comprehensive, coupled with a friendly and encouraging teaching style. Cindy gently guides me in my choice of projects so that I am constantly challenged, but also working at an appropriate level for my current skill level. The personal video critiques that I receive regularly are invaluable to my learning. I would highly recommend Cindy’s mentoring and coaching to anyone wanting to learn to draw.

I just found out that I got an honorable mention award in the Light Space and Time seascape competition. I am very excited!! I couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank You so much.

I can’t believe I have invented 3 characters and drawn a castle that looks good. Thank you for all the help and advice I really couldn’t have gotten my drawing to where it is now, it probably wouldn’t exist if you hadn’t helped me. I couldn’t do any of this without your help and advice. Mentoring has been the best thing for me, so thank you. I’m starting to get excited to see the final work completed.

I have said this before, but honestly I can’t say it emphatically enough – YOU are the reason I am even considering myself as an artist. I know I have A LOT to learn, but I can actually now visualize myself illustrating my own stories
