A pleasure to listen to:)

I recently ordered Pitt Pastel pencils online ( they have not arrived yet) and as I wanted to learn how to use them my research led me to Colin Bradley's youtube tutorials and his website. I started listening to the podcasts from the very first one and I am now up to Podcast 33. I listen whilst I am doing my artwork and it is most enjoyable and informative. Colin and Steve have such a wonderful relationship and they are both such endearing characters. What a terrific team they make. I have learned so much from these podcasts and I really look forward to listening to them. Thank you so much Colin and Steve for the great work that you do:) Carla Austen: BC Canada

Colin and Steve are Fantastic

The techniques that Colin employs when painting a pastel picture really shows his mastery of the media. It’s a pleasure to participate in his courses as he holds such a passion in teaching his techniques to everybody! Cheers!
