I’m so pleased you’re interested in the Sketchbook Challenge. This course is offered at a special discounted price. Here’s a bit more about what it’s all about:

I thought it would be great fun to take an empty sketchbook and see if we could fill it! Originally I set this challenge over a one month period with two video workshops each week. You can follow that timeframe or work entirely at your own pace. When you purchase the workshops, all eight classes will be immediately available, and you get to keep them forever. Take the challenge of filling a sketchbook in a month, or take your time, it really doesn’t matter!

I’ll guide you through selecting your book, those important first steps including losing the blank white page, establishing a theme, and strategies for getting things done. Along the way we’re going to play with paint, print, collage, stencils and drawing. Don’t be nervous though, you can be a complete beginner and I’ll show you everything you need to know. If you are already an avid sketchbook keeper I hope you’ll enjoy the structure of the sessions and my take on how to approach working in a sketchbook.
