A Few Words From our Members
"I enjoy Teresa’s instruction and teaching style, which is encouraging, unhurried with helpful explanation throughout each step of the learning process.Â
I have had success with my drawings because of Teresa’s instruction and what is more I enjoy the community where Teresa and fellow member artists provide helpful, and positive feedback on my drawings."Â
- Maria P
"I have been a member of Teresajoyfineart for the  past  two years, and  have learned so much, Teresa is such an amazing artist / teacher, her  style  is what inspires me to progress with my own art journey. I have so many things to thank her for. Her art is utterly stunning capturing her portraits perfectly.
I highly  recommend Teresajoyfineart membership."
- Tony C
"I’ve been an art student with Teresa for over a year. Her tutorials and personal touch are invaluable to me. I’d been working with colored pencils for a couple years, but I had not come across an instructor who “speaks to me” and has the ability to just know what I need to get better, like Teresa offers me.
My skills, comfort levels and knowledge have increased so much, and her kindness and generosity are phenomenal."
- Sandy F
"I have found the tutorials very helpful and educating. Some artists just draw and expect you to copy. Teresa actually teaches by explaining everything she does. There is a good selection of animals to draw too."
- Stephanie G.
Hello, I'm Teresa,Â
I'm an ex-solicitor, artist, teacher and creative mentor.
I've been drawing and painting for the past 40+ years. Over that time there has been lots of trial, error and discovery as I worked my way towards drawing realistic and lifelike birds and animals.
I worked out what is required for 'realism' and now follow the process every time I draw.
I created my Patreon membership so that I have a place to share this tried and tested process with you. It's a place where we can share a love of animals and a passion for drawing.
Inside the membership I've put the knowledge, tips and techniques that I have learnt over the years along with resources and guidance to progress you towards realistic, lifelike, drawings that you will be proud of.
Join my Patreon and together, we’ll build your confidence, strengthen your technique, and bring your favourite animals to life on paper.
I look forward to meeting you on the inside.
Teresa :)
"I subscribed to your membership last year, and I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me how to draw! I had tried a few other coloured pencil tutorials before I found yours on YouTube and just really clicked with your teaching style."
