Just to let you know, there is a person/student out here, one of many I'm sure, who is having just the best time. Thank you for sharing your art, your talent and your teaching is the best. I'm 74, retired this year and was looking for something new to learn. I have done Calligraphy for a long time and always wanted to add colour to some of the pieces I work on. Watercolour seemed to be the best fit, however not many in my area want to teach on a beginner level. I am not one to become disheartened easily so I continued my search. Then as luck would have it, I found your site. I went through page after page and in the end, decided it offered exactly what I was looking for and was at my finger tips all the time.
So thank you as you have rekindled a spark that was there, but needed a little push. I'm excited, thrilled, and thoroughly enjoying myself !

Thank you so much for sharing all of your techniques. I really enjoyed your class, especially your kind-hearted disposition. Hope to see you around on Instagram and soon at the next one of your classes.
Lucia Leyfield
Lucia is an artist, letterer and teacher who loves creating illustrated journals and artist books. She has become known for a unique and creative approach to her work which has been described as 'quietly joyful...a nostalgic, moving and profound ...a treasure chest of creativity and inspiration'
Her journals and sketchbooks, which record life as it happens, conversations, inspirations and experiments, have become works of art in their own right. Many of Lucia's sketchbooks are handmade with a range of papers and combine traditional and experimental hand lettering with watercolour, collage and mixed media sketches.
She is inspired by a diverse range of things: the old, rusty and wonky, worn architectural patinas, ancient diagrams, aged buildings, old books and ephemera, explorers' sketchbooks and vintage field guides.
