This course is made up of 5 workshops. Each workshop tackles an important area of sketching for a loose style like mine with the specific focus on landscapes and rural scenes. Each workshop specifically builds on the previous workshops, adding ideas and techniques as we progress together. From simplifying nature through the wet-on-wet skies and atmospheric perspective.

Inside each workshop you’ll find sections on core concepts, with sketching studies to help you explore the ideas, before ending with a challenge that ties it all together. The workshops each build on one another, so by the end of the course you'll amaze yourself with the progression you've made.

It's not just videos though!

Along with each video, you’ll find plenty of extra information: key points from the lesson, extra examples, and a bit more detail on some of the ideas we cover. I’ve done this so you can come back to each workshop and really absorb the learning at your own pace. This is available as a downloadable handout.

Feedback is vital

As part of the course, you can post questions, share your art and comment on each others art. I check in on the course multiple times a week to make sure I'm responding to everyone. If you feel I've missed a comment or question of yours, please post it again so I get a little alert!

A key tip from your fellow sketchers

One tip: the people who got the most from the course said they found it helpful to watch each video first, then take on the task, scene or challenge themselves. That way, you’re not just copying—you’re actually practicing how to think like a sketcher.

Take your time with it, don’t rush through, and enjoy the process. That’s where the real progress happens.
