Transform Your Life Through Drawing
with Cindy Wider – Artist, Author, Art Life Coach and Art Therapist
So many people say to me “I wish I could draw like you, I’m just not talented though.” Let me tell you this. You can learn to draw at any age.
I’ve been helping retired women transform their lives through drawing for over 17 years online.
My Complete Online Drawing Course provides all you need to learn the fundamentals of drawing right from your first pencils strokes.
Through my character illustration courses you’ll learn how to illustrate children’s picture books that open up a whole new world of wonder for you.
I teach in 7 different mediums including graphite pencil, charcoal, colored pencil, pan pastels and pencils, inks, watercolor techniques and acrylic painting. I’ll help you choose the best one to start with.

Choosing to be mentored by Cindy was the best decision I made. Her mentoring has taught me things that would have taken years to learn on my own. Boosted my confidence as an artist. I have totally enjoyed working with Cindy. Thank you for everything Cindy.

I have learnt so much in such a short time. Cindy is always available and so generous with her time. Her guidance, feedback and encouragement have been invaluable… Thank you Cindy you are an inspiration and I’m so pleased our paths have crossed.

Starting the Complete Online Drawing Course with a mentor, has been one of my best decisions… I can be very hard on myself and being ‘judged’ can be very scary. But I learned quickly that Cindy is very kind hearted and positive. Her videos about my drawings are always filled with attention for things that I did right followed by areas where I can improve and showing me how to do so. I am now making drawings I would have never dreamed of making.

I’ve been enrolled in Cindy’s Art Life Coaching Program for 4 years and its been a life-changing journey. During this time Cindy has helped me to finally open a door that I’d been knocking on for so long. I never thought I’d rever this level I’m now at in my art. I’m regularly commissioned for dog portraits and loving my life with art in it, it brings me so much joy. At last drawing makes sense and I can do it! I highly recommend Cindy as an Art Life Coach, you’ll be so glad you took this leap of faith.

Cindy Wider as my mentor sees my drawings with her deeper understanding and many years of experience. She helps to open my eyes and to see all of the little details. She explains areas that I did differently to the course notes or later to the photographs in a portrait. To see these little details and then to improve in the right way – that‘s the biggest difference from self-teach to mentored and for me the key to success!

I recently decided to do a portrait of my brother not realising how complex a beard would be. After watching many YouTube videos on the subject and failing with every technique, I approached Cindy… She took the actual work that I was busy with and personally recorded the impressing of the beard as a tutorial which I could follow. I never imagined that I would get such support from a mentoring program… I would recommend anyone eager to learn or improve their art to sign up with Cindy.

I did not come into the course with any natural talent and I realized that perseverance and the ability to ask and get answers to my many questions was what I needed in order to learn. Having a specific critique geared to my level of talent has made all the difference. Cindy is a wonderfully supportive coach… There is no topping the one-on-one experience gained by having your own tutor… My “seeing” is much improved with Cindy’s mentoring and I am so thankful that I can turn photos into works of art.

Cindy’s critiques are so helpful and instructive it consolidates your learning and definitely speeds up your progress. Having forever access to the course and critiques is amazing value – it’s a complete personalised refresher every time you need it. When you come to work on your own artwork, Cindy takes time to find out what you want and determines a path to help you achieve it. She knows how to challenge you – to stop you taking the ‘easy option,’ whilst being there to guide you and help you achieve the work you wanted to. It really is continual learning in its most enjoyable sense. Most highly recommended!

Just wanted to share. Just now leaving Dr. She was amazed at how well I looked, my mood, my recovery chemo. I showed her my art and mentioned you & DrawPJ. She loved how much improved my spirits were since I regained art as my expression. You do such an awesome job at what you do. Thank you

I can say that it was the best decision on my art journey. Thanks to Cindy’s careful guidance and dedicated support, I feel like my drawing skills have improved dramatically in a relatively short span of time. There is no more blundering in the dark 🙂 Cindy’s feedback and video reviews are very clear, helpful, and encouraging which makes the process of learning enjoyable and relaxing. I am looking forward to every project and know that Cindy is there every step of the way to provide her support and expert advice.
