We'll #paint a series of flower compositions — daisies, roses, lilies, and more — I'll teach how to use pressure to control intensity, how to layer and scratch and blend in the short window before it dries, how to cut simple stencils for clean edges, and a lot more. www.sketchbookskool.com/tem...

The great Suzuki said, “In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert's, there are few." When you're free from the "shoulds" and "musts," what you create transcends #art—it becomes discovery, revelation, epiphany.  #drawing #artist #illustration #sketch

Thank your inner critic. Each ‘bad’ #drawing is really just a chance to make the ones that follow it better. #drawing #art #artist #illustration #sketch #artwork

Why #tempera? It's fast. It's forgiving. And it makes you feel like you can't make a mistake — which, when you're #painting loosely, is exactly the feeling you want. I've never seen it taught seriously. So I'm teaching it. But you know me, not that seriously. www.sketchbookskool.com/tem...

I have a new #book!! It's a collection of essays I have written in the last few years. I want to encourage readers to be #creative, regardless of the hesitation or the obstacles they face, that it is better to make something crappy than not make something at all. a.co/d/7KR8zAK

I’m happy to tell you, I have a new book. "Make it Anyway!" 🎉 It is a collection of my essays, some of which appeared in this newsletter over the last few years, and some of which I wrote for other purposes, and that you have almost certainly never seen before. a.co/d/cSuHcQf

The problem most travel #artists know well: You've found something worth drawing, but you have three minutes, not thirty. This workshop is built around that exact problem. It's on-the-move #drawing — every technique designed to work under real-world constraints. tr.ee/JSBvAL

In our course "Dip into Dip Pens" you will gain the basics of dip #pen #drawing and #lettering so you can craft your own style. You’ll gain an understanding for materials and how to control the lines you create with your dip pen. sketchbookskool.com/courses...

​There are a zillion things adjacent to my dream that the Monkey uses to keep me away from making. Every day, there are distractions.  ​ It’s all about my goal. If an activity isn’t moving me towards it, it is dithering. Dithering can drain away your energy, your days, and your bank account.

Saturday, May 16, we're spending a morning in Paris together — #drawing, #writing, and building a complete travel journal spread on a single page. You'll leave with finished #artwork and a set of techniques you can use on every trip you take from here on. tr.ee/JSBvAL

Do you think it's unreasonable that you have to pay something for your medicines? Maybe you should think of your art supplies that way, too. Just a small price to pay to feel better. Art isn't just a product; it's part of who we are.   And that's just not for sale.

Come give us a follow! We'd love to make friends with you!

We will work through a complete #Paris travel #journal spread, from a café all the way to the Eiffel Tower. You'll pick up techniques for #drawing and composing a complex page on the go — skills that will change how you approach every trip you take after this one. tr.ee/JSBvAL

Ideally, our #art is the truest manifestation of our conclusions about the nature of things and, when someone else sees it and validates it and shares it, the power of that truth is reflected back on itself like an endlessly repeating mirror. #drawing #art #artist #illustration #sketch #artwork

You'll learn: How to capture a scene quickly so your travel companions don't have to wait Quick #watercolor approaches that work in the real world, not just at a studio desk How to compose a complex, multi-scene page on the go — so it looks intentional, not accidental tr.ee/JSBvAL

Creativity isn’t a luxury. It’s the essence of life. It’s what distinguishes us from the mush. And it’s why our ancestors survived while other less adaptive critters perished. They responded to change by being creative in some way, by inventing a new answer to the chaos. #drawing #art #artist
