What you'll do

Looking for a calm, deeply absorbing activity to reset your mind and step away from digital noise? Welcome to a quiet, supportive online studio space created to help you slow down, de-stress, and connect with a satisfying tactile practice.

This 1-hour livestream class focuses on stippling; the timeless technique of creating shade, form, and intricate texture using small, rhythmic dots. Because stippling requires gentle focus and steady rhythm, it acts as a natural, active form of meditation that quiets overthinking.

Guided by a professional artist, you will learn how to build luminous gradients from scratch, dot by dot. No prior drawing experience or complex art supplies are needed. You will leave feeling deeply centred, with a beautiful finished ink study and a soothing creative technique you can return to anytime.

What You'll Learn & Experience

Deep Focus & Stress Relief: Experience the calming, meditative flow of rhythmic dot-marking to clear mental clutter.
Density & Shading Tricks: Learn how adjusting dot spacing and pen pressure creates smooth gradients, soft shadows, and light.
Tactile Texture Building: Discover how to use simple fine-liner pens to render realistic surfaces, form, and depth.
A Portable Mindful Habit: Build a low-stress creative practice that requires only a single pen and small sketchbook; perfect for travel or evening unwinding.

Who This Is For

Returning Artists: Anyone seeking an approachable, high-impact drawing technique that doesn't demand rapid freehand sketching skills.
Mindfulness Seekers & Busy Professionals: Anyone looking for an engaging, hands-on way to unwind after a high-stress week.
Beginners & Detail-Oriented Thinkers: Anyone who enjoys slow, deliberate crafting and wants to build confidence in ink drawing in a warm, judgment-free space.

Class Format

This is a livestream class featuring live demonstrations, structured exercises, and calm, self-paced drawing time. There is zero pressure for perfection. The focus is entirely on slowing down, observing, and enjoying the quiet process of creation.

One dot is just a dot. Thousands together become art!

Women-owned

Hello and welcome!

My name is Sorour. I’m a multidisciplinary artist, bookbinder, educator, and the creative behind Gallery 19.

My teaching philosophy is built around four simple pillars:

playfulness,
exploration,
self-expression & wellbeing,
skill & craftsmanship.

When you join one of my live online or in-person classes, you aren't just learning a technique; you'll discover a calm, supportive space where hands-on craftsmanship meets joyful experimentation. My goal is for you to learn something tangible, while having the freedom to be curious and enjoy the process.

With formal training in visual art and a background in mental health studies, I deeply believe that creative practice is a wonderful way to unplug, refocus, and nurture your wellbeing.

Whether you're picking up a pen for the first time or looking to slow down and reconnect with your creativity, my sessions are designed to be a welcoming, low-pressure sanctuary.
