Meet Emmy 

Artist and creator of the Artistic Journey membership

When it comes to drawing, I believe it’s not just about talent it’s about having the motivation to become better.

I’ve been drawing for more than 5 years and I’m still learning new things and continue to grow as an artist every day. Instead of only thinking about the end result it’s important to focus on the step by step learning process.

Knowing it’s an ongoing process will help you enjoy and trust the journey.

In the membership, you will receive the guidance, support and inspiration you want to help you move forward on your artistic journey.

Ready to come along for the journey?! Let's meet inside :)

Is this you?

  • You've always wanted to learn how to draw but don't know where and how to start.

  • You're not seeing the results you want and don't really know how to improve.

  • You want to become confident enough so you can draw anything you want.

  • You want guidance and support so you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

  • You need a place to share your work so you can get encouraged and reminders to stay positive and keep going.

HERE'S WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW

You may find yourself making the same mistakes over and over again, which could make it difficult to improve. That's why going back to basics is so important.


How this membership will help you...

▸  Back to Basics

Going over the basic elements of art is important because they are the building blocks for almost every drawing. Once you know them you will be able to draw with conscious knowledge rather than questioning yourself “why doesn't my drawing look right?”.

▸  How to 'See'

Learning how to draw is learning how to see things differently. You will train your eye to look for basic shapes in objects but you will also learn how to improve your observation and drawing skills.

▸  Changing your Mindset

Your mindset is important when learning a new skill or when you want to become better at drawing. We often seem to give up when things become challenging but throughout your journey, you will learn to develop confidence and trust in yourself.

DRAWING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HARD

Learn to draw
realistic portraits...

Drawing can seem impossible if you don’t know how but drawing is a learned skill that you can learn too.

In these past years, I have spent a lot of hours drawing, observing, and practicing and after more than 5 years I can tell you one thing...

There isn’t a "talent" I was born with. It took me practice, dedication, and failure to get me where I am now.

I want to help you to start right at the beginning of learning the basics, so you can use your knowledge to get results… and improve.

You will learn the right techniques, change your mindset, and practice!

STAGE TWO

Practice

In the second stage, drawing can either be fulfilling or frustrating because you might be struggling to find the right materials and techniques that work for you.  The key is patience and practice.

STAGE THREE

Create

In the last stage, you will focus on upgrading your skills and creating beautiful portraits. You will now put everything you’ve learned into practice and you will learn to trust the process.

I did not think I could have come this far this fast.

"When I look back at my first portrait before I started the drawing course (which I thought was very good) until the last one we did, I realize how far I have come. I also realize how little I knew back then. Great job Emmy and thanks for your course and teaching."

Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful membership.

"Drawing is something I've always been interested in and wanted to learn, but I've been under the impression that people are born with the ability to draw. I started as a complete beginner and after a few weeks, I can't believe the things I'm able to draw that I wouldn't have been able to before. Of course, I have so much to learn and I'm excited to keep practicing and getting better, I really enjoy how you instruct and I'm learning a lot from you. Not to mention you are an incredible artist."

- Jared

Professional knowledge & clear-cut teaching style

"Emmy has a remarkable ability to explain precisely what it is she wants her students to learn and understand. As a beginner with no background in art, I look forward to each week's lesson, knowing that Emmy's professional knowledge and her clear-cut teaching style are definitely very important stepping stones in achieving my personal goal of learning to draw skillfully and accurately and having a bit of fun whilst I'm at it."

- Cheryle

Lots of improvement and confidence in my drawing skills

"I've been following Emmy's YouTube for more than 2 years, and I was always impressed with her work. I was so excited to join without any hesitation. I've noticed lots of improvement and confidence in my drawing skills after I started practicing every week. I like the methods Emmy is using in teaching, especially that she thinks out loud, and how she sometimes shows her mistakes and how to fix them quietly when they happen."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • IS THIS MEMBERSHIP BETTER THAN YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL?
    The videos on my Youtube channel are mostly at a high/faster speed and don’t show every step. This membership includes real-time tutorials with commentary. I explain my techniques and also show you which materials I use. The sketch and the reference photo are both available to download.

  • WHICH MATERIALS WILL I NEED?
    In a video, I show all the materials I use as well as what I use them for. There will also be a material list available to download. These materials are optional, you can also follow along during the tutorials and use the materials you already have at home. For the first drawing lessons, you will only need a pencil and some paper.

  • CAN I ASK QUESTIONS OR RECEIVE FEEDBACK?
    Yes, there's a private community. I'll be in the community answering questions and you will also be able to reach out to me for questions or feedback.
