Introduction to Sketching
Beginners Welcome! For anyone who wants to get started in sketching but has been too scared to try! We overcome fear - discover how sketching is a skill that you can learn and be amazed at how quickly you will unlock your own creativity.
Absolutely no experience or artistic background is necessary. I guide you through the basics for drawing, creating a composition, watercolour mixing and techniques. You will develop confidence and find your very own personal style, as I share unlimited tips and tricks, guaranteed to fast track your learning experience.
We meet weekly, for a 2 hour session over 3 weeks, in a calm, easy setting with a maximum of 6 per group. I teach in a relaxed Mosman cafe while we can enjoy a good coffee! This is a great option for a group of friends, mum and daughter, husband/wife or sisters!
Get ready to have some fun!
$250 for a course of 3 sessions. Next available course starts in August 2026. Please email me for full details.
Out and About Sketch Group
These sessions are for students who have some prior sketching experience, or have done the Beginner’s Course and are looking to level up their skills.
We meet Thursday mornings, at a different location weekly, somewhere on the lower north shore, city or Manly area.
As well as practicing your skills, regular sketching is a wonderful way to connect - making new friends, discovering your creative side, appreciating nature and the urban environment around us.
Our sketch community provides a fun new outlet as we continue to learn from each other. Enjoy continuous learning as you discover new places too!
Either $50 casual rate, per session (2 hours),
or save with a card of 7 sessions, for $300
Please contact me for the current schedule and to join our whatsapp group.
Zoom Sketch Practice
Initially started during COVID19 our Zoom sessions remain a popular favourite, as a way to practice regularly and improve our sketching every week. Every sketch is a lesson and you will improve with each one you do!
This class is best suited to those who have some experience with ink and watercolour, although beginners are welcome. The sessions are informal and very interactive, giving you the chance to ask questions and gain instant advice or feedback from myself and fellow sketchers.
I provide varied subjects and images used to demonstrate and experiment with alternative techniques for ink and watercolours.
We take the last few minutes to share feedback with each other, discussing any new learnings or challenges we encountered. Many have found the supportive platform to be very useful as we always learn something new and gain insights from each other.
Come and join us for some fun on this positive and supportive platform.
$35 per person.
Every Tuesday 5-6 pm.
Events and Parties
Are you looking for something a little different that is fun, motivational and creative? Sketching is a great ‘ice-breaker’ and an activity everyone can enjoy, whether it is for a special event or as a team-building incentive. You will be amazed at how quickly your guests or team relaxes, enjoys each other and quite often, uncover hidden talents.
2 hour minimum session is recommended or we can tailor to suit your needs. All set up, props and materials are included. You just provide the venue and the people!
Hens Parties
Lunches, birthdays
Retirement Villages
Mother-daughter sessions
Corporate/Business team building
What you need
Sketching only requires a few, relatively inexpensive essentials to create the perfect on-the-go sketch kit.
A water-resistant ink pen (0.4mm or 0.5mm)
A watercolour sketch pad (A5 is preferred)
A set of watercolour paints (most small palettes of 12 colours are good)
Paint brush (size 6 or 8)
These are all available from most art shops.
All these items are very light and portable, to make up a kit that fits easily into a bag. This means you can sketch wherever you are, on-the-go or whenever you get inspired.
Workshops
I run regular weekend workshops during the year.
These are usually themed and focus on a particular subject or technique for improving your sketch skills. They run for 2 hours in a tranquil location in Mosman. Come and learn something new, meet some lovely new sketch friends and enjoy a morning of creative fun.
