9. Weekly Livestreams: These private drawing livestreams on YouTube provide a collaborative space where members work on a drawing together, guided by John's instruction.

Sometimes the community tackles a Master’s copy of an oil painting, interpreting it in colored pencil, providing both a homage to classical works and a unique twist. Other times, the focus might be on a small crop of a larger piece, in order to challenge and overcome artistic roadblocks. These livestreams facilitate camaraderie and shared growth within the community.

10. Constant Updates and Additions: The Members Circle is ever-evolving, with new content, features, and opportunities. Your membership will never become stale; it continues to grow and adapt to the needs and interests of its members.

With these core features, the Members Circle offers an unparalleled experience for artists seeking to challenge themselves continuously.

Whether you're just starting your artistic journey or looking to take your skills to the next level, the Members Circle can help.
