During this class, I will share my techniques and approaches to creating a collective sketchbook page reminiscent of a primary school nature table, remember those?!
Collective sketchbook pages are fun and accessible because you can build up the page slowly over a longer period of time. Adding elements like this break a detailed page in to bitesize chunks!
It's a great way to begin or continue a visual journal and a unique approach to recording a special place, whether that's somewhere you've travelled to or your own back garden!
During the class I will share:
- My sketching and drawing techniques
- A brilliant drawing/tracing cheat which is great for beginners!
- Advice and support with materials
- Colour mixing
- Watercolour techniques
- Layout ideas (and cheats!) with the addition of notes and text.

What people are saying:
THANK YOU for inviting me to your "Free Work-a-long" yesterday! For me - it was so enjoyable listening to you talk about your creative life and art. In addition, I absolutely loved seeing the artwork created by the other ladies and listening to them discuss projects, books, meeting people, etc. This was like a 'VISUAL PODCAST" where we worked along with you.~Karla
Thank you! I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful I think this workshop is! Every time I think your classes can’t get any better …..Like many of your followers I feel this is the class I’ve been looking for but didn’t realise it! Brilliant! ~Jane
I just wanted to thank you for how you make your classes accessible for me. I’m disabled and on a low income so many course offerings are beyond my affordability. Thank you for your generosity I very much appreciate it. I just did the mini map making course. What fun! I have a brain injury so video is the only way I can learn and I find your teaching style clear and simple to follow. ~Penny
