Monthly Lessons (Live + Replay): Each month, you’ll receive a fresh, inviting creative prompt, live or replayable, so you can build your habit without pressure.
-
Studio Chats & Q&A: Sketch right alongside me. Share your pages, ask questions, and find joy in collective curiosity.
-
Monday Teatime Sketches: Join 20 minutes of relaxed Zoom sketching (when I’m around). Think of this as your creative caffeine break.
-
Weekly Inspiration & Prompts: A gentle nudge each week, plus a spotlight on sketchers from my YouTube community.
-
Access to Bonus Course: Kickstart your creative rhythm with "The Traveling Sketchbook Course" included for free (a $45 value).
