Sketchbook Inspiration: Complete pages in a quick 15 minute! (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,
Sketchbook Inspiration: Complete pages in a quick 15 minute! (Skillshare)

Make creativity a habit and practice sneaking in 15 minutes of “me time” to play with your pens and paints. Create a plan so that you’ll never have to stare at a blank page, waiting for inspiration to strike. What can you create in a 15 min creative break? I’ll show you how to fill a sketchbook page in that time. It might not be much, but from repetitive experience I have learnt that sneaking in that time for me to play with paint- in between the hustle and busyness of the everyday- is a much needed break.

It rejuvenates me, and I come out on the other side feeling recharged and with a positive attitude. What I paint in my sketchbook does not have to be a master piece, it just needs to have a positive vibe, feel cheerful and bring a smile to my face.

In this class, you will learn

  • How to start a sketchbook with a theme
  • Choosing art supplies that you already own
  • How to prep sketches in bulk
  • Create a page with just a marker
  • Paint a bright colorful watercolor floral
  • Paint with acrylic paints

By the end of this class, following the class videos, you will have created three sketchbook pages from start to finish. You should leave inspired to fill in all those remaining blank pages too.
Follow my tutorial lessons and recreate them in your sketchbooks or use those tutorials as a starting point for your inspiration. Whether you have finished an entire page, or just started with a pencil sketch, please feel free to use this project space to share your progress.
If you are not a sketchbook enthusiast, you can make handmade cards or bookmarks too.
I cannot wait to see what you create!

It's wonderful for creating luminous colors, as well as water and lighting effects.
