Doodle Sketch Your Life: Easy Techniques for Everyday Drawing

Do you ever find yourself sat at home, wanting to create, sketch or paint – but lacking the motivation and inspiration?

We know that drawing inspiration is all around us, but perhaps sometimes it’s difficult to recognise, or all to easy to feel intimidated by subjects that aren’t naturally awe inspiring.

Well, in this class we’ll turn that all on it’s head.

I’m going to take you on a little tour of my life, through the windows of my sketchbook. And show you that you too can spend some quality time, creating fun art, improving your art skills – sketching and drawing objects and scenes from your home, and your life.

Aims Of This Class

We'll discover how to use simple tools and the scenes all around us to fill a sketchbook with life and energy. 

Along the way we’ll discover key artistic techniques, fundamentals that will boost our knowledge and also take the stress out of creativity – the ideas of shapes, looking at how building up simple objects can turn into crafting complex scenes, exploring shadows and minimalist colour, and finding inspiration around every corner.

Develop a light-hearted and mindful approach to our art – making it something to destress you after a long day, or give you some energy and a confidence boost.

Who is this class for?

It’s a beginner friendly class for anyone looking to develop their ink sketching, a more mindful attitude towards art or wanting to learn sketching and drawing fundamentals and key skills in a hands on approach.
