"Alan is a wonderful artist and instructor that welcomes people from all skill levels and backgrounds, he made me feel secure and like I belonged there as an artist. His ability to understand where we were all at, and what we needed to work on in order to get better at our practice made us feel seen and encouraged. He will hold your hand while you're still learning, and will challenge you when you're ready for it. He created a respectful environment for us all and every day was an enriching experience that I will never forget."

"Alan was so great! I’ve been watercoloring but had never sketched with pen and he made it feel so inviting and easy. His instruction was clear. I am so inspired to begin sketching more and more and more. I am more than grateful to Alan for providing this opportunity through connecting to Sintra, urban sketching and this soul serving artistic life."

"Alan's passion for urban sketching is truly inspiring. He brings a unique energy to each class, sharing his own sketches and experiences from drawing cityscapes and everyday scenes. His enthusiasm is contagious, and it sparks our interest in exploring urban environments through our sketches. He is always eager to share her knowledge and techniques, ensuring we understand each concept clearly. His lessons are filled with practical tips and encouragement, making the learning process both educational and fun. I am grateful for his guidance and look forward to continuing my artistic journey under his mentorship!"

"I’ve discovered that an area of my life’s purpose is to be a guide to awaken others’ intuitive sketching skills without needing technical know-how. We were all created with a unique gift and if you have just that spark, an inner desire that is asking you to sketch, to create; it’s there for a reason and I am here to help guide you to rise to the calling."
