Margaret thought that too....

“When I first joined Colour Pencil School, I honestly didn’t think I could draw… Since joining, I have discovered just how much I can do with guidance, practice, and encouragement.”

Colour Pencil School member, Margaret Seagrove

Do you ever feel stuck or unmotivated when starting or continuing an artwork?

That's how Margi felt...

"Every picture I start doesn’t look good initially, but by trusting Laleh and continuing to practise, I’ve been impressed with the end result.”

Colour Pencil School member, Margi Ezard

Hi, I'm Laleh Kamalian

I didn't start drawing until I was 48, so I know what it's like to begin from scratch and wonder whether you're good enough.

I learned through experimenting, making mistakes and trying again, as well as learning from some wonderful teachers along the way. And I'm still learning, because I believe there's always something new to discover.

That's how I teach too. With me, what you see is what you get! I don't edit out mistakes, corrections or the ugly stages. They're all part of learning.

And inside Colour Pencil School, there's no such thing as "bad art". Wherever you are on your journey, you're supported, encouraged and celebrated as you learn, grow and enjoy creating.

Just look at what our members create at Colour Pencil School every week!

These are real work by people like you!

Colour Pencil School is not only about art and drawing.
It’s about support, connection, and personal growth.

You have given me hope again away from the stroke.
