James Rusate
I just finished my snake pastel drawing for my granddaughter.
I just can’t say enough how my short time here learning and applying Dave’s techniques from free hand drawing to underlay drawings to fine details has made this journey so much more enjoyable and meaningful for me. Thank you for sharing all that you do Dave!

Ed Jack:
I am doing exactly like Dave teaches. When I watch Dave fill the tooth I am mezmerized by it… details magically appear that he never drew straight away. Every portrait I do I watch Dave first.

Miho Tomei
Here’s my first piece done all in pastel pencils. I watched the tutorial of Isla on the beach and the way Dave demonstrated creating seascape was fascinating, and I gave it a try on this happy doggo on the beach. Showing also two other works.
