Ready to start an art habit but feeling overwhelmed? This course is designed to help you overcome that initial hurdle and unlock your creative potential. We'll focus on building momentum and confidence with a guided approach to your first week of art practice.
You'll participate in 7 sketchbook drawing sessions, designed to shift your focus from "how to start" to simply being creative. Follow along with the exercises as I demonstrate, or feel free to personalize them with your own unique style. This is all about exploration and fun!
Here's what you'll need to participate:
A sketchbook (A5 size is ideal, but any will do!)
Your favorite traditional art supplies. I'll be using:
- Colored pencils
- Watercolour paints
- Brush markers
- Graphite pencil & eraser
But feel free to use whatever traditional art mediums you have on hand – the goal is to create!
To help you get started, download my Start Your Art Habit Workbook from the Resources tab! It's packed with helpful tips and prompts.
