INSPIRATION SKETCHBOOK 3-hr virtual retreat
INSPIRATION SKETCHBOOK guides artists and designers through a proven step-by-step roadmap to create their next body of work or collection with confidence and in their own unique artistic style.
You’ll spend your time diving into LIVE training, video tutorials, Q&As, artist mindset, painting sessions, ideation, and exploring sketchbook exercises to jumpstart your creative project.
By the end of this course and retreat, you will have brainstormed an idea for your next creative project. Mind mapped your collection idea, researched your theme, created a color palette, explored mixed media techniques and sketchbook prompts…and so much more!
You'll explore and PLAY...with paint, materials, and techniques throughout the entire creative process.
You’ll walk away with a series of sketches, ideas, and strategies to create a consistent art practice and a plan to complete your next artwork series.
MOST OF ALL...you'll have a creative ROADMAP to guide you as you create your project or collection!
This is a new online program where we'll dive into painting, creative prompts, and planning for your creative projects.
Additional details for the course & retreat will be delivered via email. You'll receive an automated confirmation email right after you sign up.
The BONUS retreat is now self-guided in the classroom
