What you'll do

A fun workshop class jam-packed with sketch info and tips. This workshop is designed to provide beginners with a solid foundation in ink and watercolour sketching techniques. You will learn a range of essential skills to kickstart your creative journey.

Groups are kept relatively small, meaning you are given one-on-one personal attention and allows the class to be interactive.

The session will cover the basics for getting started in ink and watercolour sketching:

Art Materials we use
How to draw without fear
Discovering watercolours, how they differ from other paints and how to employ their various techniques
How to sketch objects so they don’t look flat and child-like
Create an interesting composition.
What makes a good sketch and how to make sketching easier

All the materials needed, are provided on the day and should you wish to carry on sketching, a list of art supplies will be available for you to take home.

I will guide you through the process of drawing, providing personal tips and tricks to help you overcome any artistic insecurities. You will gain an initial understanding of watercolours and their various application techniques, allowing you to create your own style sketches.

Discover the joy of sketching and how it makes you feel. Aside from developing a new skillset, you will discover how the act of sketching becomes a mindfulness practice, how it helps you to focus and relax.

By the end of the session, you will have gained a wealth of sketching wisdom and knowledge to get you started on your creative journey. You will walk away with a new level of confidence

Hello!

When I discovered sketching a few years ago I never would have imagined how much joy it would bring into my life. It became a regular practice and I have been taking my little book and watercolours with me everywhere since.

Let me show you how sketching can provide a wonderful way to record places, moments and experiences - in your own personal style.

Here are some of the amazing benefits you will gain from sketching:

It provides an escape from stress and busy minds
It accesses the right part of the brain - releasing happy hormones to reduce anxiety and leaves a sense of well being
It allows new friendships to flourish (both online and in person)
It increases concentration and mental focus
It is light and portable – take it wherever you go
Perfect way to record memories and make a fabulous visual journal

Everyone can sketch!

In this introductory class I take you through all the basics. You will find out how to create a good sketch, as we discuss composition, line drawing, watercolour techniques and how to simplify busy urban scenes. By the end of the session you will have the skills and confidence to get started on developing your own practice.

No artistic talent is required. If you can write your name, you can sketch! We use ink pen only - no pencil - because every line is a "good" line. There is no judgement or "wrong" in sketching. We all have a different view of the world and it is the sketching process that creates the magic, rather producing a perfect a masterpiece!

I am passionate about how the sketch practice makes me feel and I created JustSketchNow as a response to friends, family and passers-by asking me to teach them what I do. I have been running classes both in person (small groups) and online for over 2 years.

Please see some of the testimonials on the website.
