You want to get started in sketching but cannot fit in a course during the week?
I've fine-tuned my tips for beginners - so you can learn quickly and begin sketching in just 2 hours.
If you think you cannot draw - let me prove you wrong!
I have guided hundreds of new students who believed they had no artistic ability - only to discover they had hidden talents and fell in love with a new skill they had never dreamt of.
JustSketchNow guides you step-by-step, in a fun, relaxed way allowing you to create your own personal sketches. I take you though the basics for drawing that will dispel any fears for composing a sketch and then you will discover the magic of watercolour - in a way you will love.
You will leave excited, having found a new skill to take home that allows you to create unique memories in a visual way.
Sketching isn't just about creating beautiful art; it can also boost mental focus, reduce stress, and offer a unique way to unwind and appreciate life. Just a 10-minute sketch can bring clarity and a sense of wellbeing to your day.
The group is deliberately kept personal and small, so you can receive all the personal attention you deserve!
Because there is no judgement in this method of sketching, no wrong lines or "mistakes" - you will finish the session with a new sense of achievement, feeling relaxed, confident and energised!
What you'll get
A watercolour sketchbook to take home, valued at $30.
The essential techniques to continue with ink and watercolour sketching.
Suggested materials to buy.
Knowledge required

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.
