Sketch Leaves with me in this FREE Online Sketching Session
If you’re struggling with finding time to sketch or feeling a little overwhelmed by the blank pages in your sketchbook then join this FREE sketching masterclass on Monday 14th Oct with me, Susan Yeates to exercise those creative muscles.
I am artist and author with over 20 years of experience teaching budding creatives just like you to sketch and have fun along the way. During this I will share with you one of my favourite sketching warm-ups to ‘get in the zone’, plus look at ways to sketch in pencil, pen and coloured pencil with Sketching Leaves as the inspiration.
We will also explore: - Ways to approach a new sketch and feel comfortable in your sketching practice - Tips on sketching regularly and boosting your creativity - The opportunity to ask me questions
