Imagine if there was an art class where you could (re) learn how to be creative and confidently make artwork without the fear and overwhelm of simply beginning
Let me ask you some things.
Do you follow artists on social media and get hooked watching their process and how they make their artwork?
Do you watch ‘How-to’ tutorials on youtube to learn different art techniques?
Does the thought of you actually beginning your own creative project enter your mind every now and then?
But then you tell yourself…
“Who am I kidding, I’m not creative enough to try something artistic”
“I have zero ideas where to start or what to do”
“What if I’m not very good and people laugh at me”
Be honest, does this sound a bit like you?
Imagine if you didn’t have that sabotaging fear and overwhelm?
Instead…
You found the perfect art class. One designed to help even the most uncertain newbie find their inner artist and approach creating art with confidence and curiosity.
You’d be so excited to finally have the opportunity to learn and create your own art works!!!

Let me introduce you to the magic unicorn that is a SKETCHBOOK HABIT.
Did you know being creative on a regular basis… like sketching for 5-15mins in a sketchbook, can have the following impact on life both professional and personal?
Being creative forces your brain to quieten, reducing the noise and clutter resulting in a wonderful state of calm, (which is great in itself). As a bonus this relaxed state is also when your brain is available for the big thinking to happen, not necessarily just about art but you’ll find you get more clarity on all aspects of life.
You develop creative thinking which is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets. This is extremely helpful at work or when needing a new perspective on a tricky situation.
As you sketch you are encouraged to think critically and problem-solve which, let’s face it is a skill we all use in our everyday lives!
Not to mention a sketchbook is simply a visual diary or journal. Journaling has incredible mindset benefits and who says you can’t mix words and pictures?
Creative Projects & More.
All the projects are designed for individuals with zero or basic art skills, so no need to worry that you’ll be out of your league.
The course doesn’t require you to purchase a truckload of materials. Just the basics that you will use again and again. I’ve also got you covered with a buying guide that includes budget options.
All projects have (really) simple step-by-step instructions in both video and written format so whatever learning style I have you covered.
I’ve included extra (easily digestible) resources to cover a bit of the theory of art and art practice. That way you’ll know why you are doing, what you are doing.
Each project is designed to follow my 4-step Creative Process for creating your artworks. Using this process takes away the decision-making and creative block that might get in your way and assists to build your creative confidence.
There are regular Q&A sessions and workshops for you to access my expert coaching and mentoring. This will help top keep you on track, stick to your creative goals and build some really great artistic skills.
Lastly there is a wonderful, private community group where you can share wins, ask questions and support each other without fear or judgement.
A closer look at your creative journey.

My 4 step creative process
I have created this process to take the fear, apprehension and overwhelming decision making out of the mix so you can be confidently creating artworks in no time.
It makes the process fun and really accessible so you, like thousands of other students I have taught, get results you are proud of and have fun doing so
Before you create anything you need to decide WHAT to create, ensuring you have a purposeful direction to help inform how your artwork comes together.
I know spontaneity is considered creative but a bit of planning goes a long way to ensuring your creativity and confidence stay intact.
I’ll gently guide you through understanding the necessary factors to consider when planning to ensure the most success.
In addition, I’ll share my trusty PDF worksheets that you can use over and over when planning.
This step is to get you inspired so you are excited to get started. I’ll give you access to all the resources I regularly use to get inspired which will save you hours of endless google searching.
You’ve done all the hard work and you’re expected just to start, right? We all know it’s not that easy!… Hello overwhelm!
I’ll guide you through the creation process of each project and you can follow along as little or as much as you like.
I also offer alternatives and extension options for when you are feeling that you’d like to try something else.

FAQs

This course is designed to get you in a habit of a regular creative practice. Daily prompts are provided that take 5-15 mins a day… less than a Netflix episode and just the time it takes for a cup of coffee!
The sketchbook habit component is best done daily or perhaps every second day… as long as you are consistent.
There are 3 larger projects that will take approx 1-1.5hours after you watch the tutorials (which you can conveniently do through an app on your phone any time you get a few minutes).
-
We cover A LOT in the course and the main focus is to build your confidence and get you reacquainted with being creative.
The things we DON’T cover are realistic drawing, and the use of materials that are expensive and/or difficult to use.
-
‘re-Ignite your Creativity’ is self-paced so you focus on your sketchbook habit and then dip in and out of the projects as you please.
However, there will be Q&A’s and live coaching sessions, but if you miss these you can access the calls in the member’s hub afterwards.
-
I try very hard to make sure all the materials you need are things that are inexpensive (yet still quality) and easily accessed at places such as large office supply stores.
Each of the 3 larger projects can cost, around $20-50 in materials.
However, I give you alternatives and budget options and who knows what is in your kids pencil case or that bottom draw where pens go to die!
-
Absolute zero skill is necessary, just a bit of enthusiasm :)
We welcome complete beginners or people with very little experience through to those who have done various creative projects over time but now need a push and some confidence to get back into it.
-
If you are a professional artist and can happily pick up some materials and begin work then I would say no.
‘re-Ignite your Creativity’ is for people who want to (re) learn to be creative but don’t have the confidence or know-how of where to start.
-
No worries, you definitely don’t need to know how to draw to do this course.

No worries at all!
This course will help you to confidently develop a creative practice and then guide you through creating 3 finished artworks!
