Start Your Sketchbook (Three Weeks)

Start Your Sketchbook: Studio Sessions (Three Weeks)

Three weeks to jumpstart your creative practice • All supplies included, plus sketchbook to keep

Build a strong creative practice in your own personal sketchbook to start the new year strong! This class will give you a place to begin to make drawing and creativity a regular part of your life, in the most gentle and encouraging way so it'll really stick this time.

Over the course of three weeks, you'll take part in a two-hour class to build on the last. First, you'll loosen up and experiment, then dive into drawing exercises, try color experiments, embrace mixed media application, and enjoy a ton of creative prompts to keep you inspired. This curriculum is not stuffy at all — be prepared to have fun, let down your guard, and release all pressure, rediscovering what it means to create freely JUST FOR YOU in your secret sketchbook!

You'll receive a mixed media sketchbook to keep, access to a wide variety of mixed media supplies, and a collection of prompts and pro-tips, in case you become lost on what to add to your sketchbook.

Fill your pages with confidence and without expectations, and you'll notice how lighter you feel as you commit to a regular practice of drawing!
