I don’t know about you, but my phone sometimes feels like it’s taken over my life. There’s one thing that balances that, though – more than balances it – and that’s sketching the world around me. It brings indescribable creative satisfaction to me, and to countless thousands of fellow sketchers around the globe. It feels like we’ve discovered the secret to happiness.
No longer does life feel it’s spinning past at breakneck speed. When you stop to drink in your surroundings through contemplation and sketching, you are truly in the moment. Your memories are there forever, to enjoy across the years…so much better than photos.
And while the level of skill a person has isn’t really relevant, I believe the enjoyment is enhanced when you have the right guide to show you the way.
What materials to use. What colours look good together. How to draw. Pen or pencil. How much water to use, and with which watercolour paint. Where to buy the kit, and how to get the best value. Baby steps.
I am that guide. It is my privilege to accompany you on your journey, and it is my great joy to see your creativity hit new heights. My classes are always live, if you’re free, and always recorded, if you’re not. They’re automatically sent to your inbox as soon as class is over…so you can watch it a second or third time, or a thousandth time, if you want.
I tackle all kinds of subjects, from people sketching to foliage, reflections to cities, skies to perspective.
I even have an amazing community of like-minded sketchers who want to partake in your journey too, and cheer you on.
Sound enticing? It gets better. Have you seen the price? For four classes each month, you pay just €14.95. That’s about $15.80 or thereabouts. You can get double the number of classes, and other lovely perks, for just €24.95, if you are so inclined.
If you’re tempted, and if you have never taken a class with me, and would like to try before you commit, then come along to the live class next Thursday 22nd February at 7.00pm UTC, and sketch crocuses with me, as in the sketch below. Or, if you haven’t got materials yet, just watch and do the class when you have the materials to hand. Or, sign up and watch the recording in your own time. It’s really that simple.
Use code SPRING24 to get your 100% discount. Only one per person – that’s how my free classes on Zoom work because of limits on the attendance – but it’s also only for those who have never taken a class with me before, for the same reason, and also because you guys already know me (although you’re more than welcome to the recording after the live class is over). This is for those of you who have never jumped in. I send a link a couple of days before class and you hit the link – nothing complicated. No need to have your camera on (although I do prefer to see you, it’s more friendly!) and everyone will be muted to keep things harmonious. Go to the page “live classes” and you’ll see the class right there.
I look forward to seeing you then!
