Become the Color Genius You Were Meant to Be!

You don’t need a four-year art degree or thousands of hours of practice to become confident with color and create artwork you're proud of. With 18 years of teaching experience, I’ve developed a proven method to help artists like you master key concepts and techniques and 3 "Pencil MAGIC" is the first part of that journey!

HEY! I'M LANA, YOUR GUIDE.

I teach the foundations that build strong, confident artists!

Most online art lessons skip the most important part of drawing: accurate values. They’ll teach you how to match colors perfectly or create beautiful textures, but without a solid value foundation, those techniques can only take you so far.

I’ve spent 18 years teaching artists of all levels, and the biggest breakthroughs always come when they finally learn to see value clearly. This simple exercise is designed to help you build that foundation — so everything else in your art becomes easier, more powerful, and more intentional.
