Yes, this course definitely teaches how to use colored pencils like a pro, but there is so much more. Lisa is not only an amazing artist. She is also a wonderful teacher who teaches her students to think, trust yourself and understand the basis. This course is for you if you want to enable yourself to make your own artistic decisions rather and not rely on step-by-step color alongs with exact pencil numbers. I was amazed what I, a complete beginner who didn't hold a pencil since I was a kid, was able to make with Lisa's guidance.
