  • If you want to reinvigorate your drawing practice or try out plein air sketching for the first time, join me in this quarterly seasonal drawing challenge.
    This is a blend of 7 exercises I use as a staple to warm up and get moving. The prompts are based around speed - Winter can be a very busy time of year, so these exercises are ones you can do in under 5 minutes, on your usual walk outside.

      Omg, I just mentioned you in my comment and you’re already here lol (I was saying your video introduced me to tempera paint sticks and they’re my main art medium now, they are so useful now I’m bedridden, thanks!)
