Join me in establishing a mindful daily sketching practice as we honour our wild kin through art. Today we explore creating sanctuary in the margins of life, finding those precious moments to connect with our creativity. Together we'll start a 9-day journey of wildlife sketching, building connection and confidence through consistent, gentle practice.
Learn how just 15-30 minutes a day can transform your artistic journey. We'll focus on establishing shape and form as we begin our first wildlife portrait, emphasising presence over perfection. This abridged tutorial introduces techniques I explore more deeply in Hedgerow, my wildlife art membership community.
Remember wild hearts - from little things, big things grow. Let's make art together! 🌿
The FULL narrated tutorial and eBook are available inside Hedgerow - come check it out!
