Your Host During Pastel Pencil Week
Hi, and Welcome! I'm Rob
I've taught thousands of people just like you how to draw realistic animals in just a few days! There is no such thing as talent - just a process.
My FRAMED Formula™ - a step-by-step method designed not just for professionals, but for beginners and intermediate artists who want to create art they’re proud of, without the guesswork or overwhelm will get you there.
I'm on a mission to change how people learn to draw. No more “just follow along” YouTube videos. No more years of practice without progress. Just real results as you can see by my student examples - built on structure, confidence, clarity and enjoyment.
I'll show you the exact steps I wish I'd had when I started drawing, just 4 years ago, inside Pastel Pencil Week.
You don’t need talent.
You need the right method.
And someone who remembers exactly what it felt like to be a beginner.
They Took A Chance on Pastel Pencil Week. Look What Happened...
Is the 'FRAMED' Art Challenge for me?
Yes! The FRAMED Art Challenge is especially for you if...
You want a FORMULA to know exactly how to draw.
(Hint: It's way easier than you think and once you learn it you'll be able to draw what you want every time.)
You've wanted to up your drawing skills and stop procrastinating or you feel it's time to stop letting imposter syndrome take over.
You feel overwhelmed and don't know how to start... You think about drawing but don't know where or how to start and want to know just what materials you need.
You think the tools you need to start drawing will cost you a second mortgage. I'll give you my very own materials list that sets you up and shows you drawing does not have to break the bank
If you nodded or said “yes” to any of the above, then ABSOLUTELY, this FREE 5-Day Challenge is 100% for you. What have you got to loose?

What The Week Looks Like For You
Join us on the 26th - 29th October
Day 1
Background colour with PanPastels or Pencils
Oct 26th 4.30pm (BST) 1.5 hr
We’ll start by selecting your first colours and gently building soft base layers. I’ll guide you step by step whether you’re using PanPastels or working only with pastel pencils so you can confidently create a smooth foundation for your portrait.
Day 2
Middle Fur Layers & Curls
Oct 27th 4.30pm (BST) 1 hr
We’ll start by drawing the fur as I do in my commission work. You'll bring Dexter to life by layering colour contrast and soft blending to get super soft flowing fur and not over do the pastel on the paper. No muddy colour! Just beautiful realistic layering & curls.
Day 3
Eyes & Nose
Oct 28th 4.30pm (BST) 1 hr
Time for the windows to the soul and that gorgeous black nose. Learn how to make noses pop.
Day 4
Refining & Finishing
Oct 29th 4.30pm (BST) 1 hr
Time for those beautiful details that make realistic portraits jump off the page. These tricks are where the magic happens. And then...
You'll have a beautiful, realistic portrait that YOU'VE drawn!
Dexter will be finished!

FAQ'S
I'm brand new to art, is this going to go over my head?
Absolutely not. This challenge is a wonderful way to get you going. It will introduce you to THE most important techniques that will accelerate your process by YEARS.
I'm already an artist, will this be too elementary for me?
Definitely not. While you may have experience already, the techniques I'm going to teach you will help you draw faster, which in turn means you can earn more and have lots more time to do what you love.
Do I have to come to the live trainings?
Yes - if you can. We do understand that scheduling conflicts may arise and that's why the live session recordings will be available during the challenge. To get the most out of the FREE challenge we advise that attending our live sessions are the better way to do it as you will have the chance to get feedback and ask questions. While each session is recorded and will be made available for the week of the live training. Once the challenge is over, they will no longer be available.
What supplies do I need?
Just a few pastel pencils is all you need. Don't worry, when you sign up we'll send you the very small list with links of exactly where you can buy them. They'll all be from Amazon too so you can guarantee delivery in time. Of course you don't have to follow along - you're more than welcome to sit, watch, engage and have fun. There is no pressure for you to draw 'along'. The sessions will be fun, informative, engaging and overall will inspire you and light that creative fire for you.
How much time do I need to invest in the challenge?
Just an hour a day for 5 days will give you everything you need to get going and become the confident artist you've always dreamed of becoming. Of course, you are also welcome to attend the extra hour each day where I will be hosting an intimate after class workshop giving you my expert secrets.
