Course Description
We all need new inspiration, whatever stage we are at on our creative journey! Throughout this course, I’ll introduce you to three of the most transformative steps that set my own art practice free.
Techniques Taught:
- Expressive drawing to capture movement
- Mark-making using ink on location
- Tonal techniques for creating dramatic landscapes
- Innovative approaches to simplifying the landscape, paving the way for abstraction
- Sketchbook strategies for exploring composition
3 Easy Steps
In three simple lessons I'll introduce you to drawing and mark-making exercises that can help you to loosen up and let go of more rigid, traditional approaches.
Lesson 1 / Walk & Draw
We begin by freeing up your drawing. This is where you start to shake off the traditional techniques of realism, such as perspective and horizon points. Instead, we focus on drawing with a sense of play and exploration. We concentrate on texture and scale to create drawings with depth and interest.
Lesson 2 / Develop Your Mark-Making
This is the part where we leave behind the overwhelm and simplify our kit so that we are free to explore the realms of expressive mark making. With one simple ink and a couple of brushes your creativity is set free to play and experiment. We explore tone and texture, which are fundamental to creating rich, powerful pieces of art
Lesson 3 / Composition & Scale
Our final lesson shows us the beauty of working in multiples. You no longer need to feel the pressure of perfectionism, as this will hinder your growth. By working across three sketchbooks, we speed up our learning, and we let go of the fear that a single study has to be perfect. Instead, we adopt a learner's attitude and explore the endless ways we can push composition and focal points in our sketches

Hi, I'm Sam. I'm a landscape artist living in South West England. As a child, I would cycle around the country lanes sketching the rolling hills, trying to make studies that captured a sense of the beautiful landscape. Just like you, I wanted my sketches and paintings to be full of life and movement! Over the years I taught myself that to make art like this you have to embrace mistakes. You have to show vulnerability and self compassion. I now paint on a daily basis and my work can be found in galleries all over the UK. I created this course to share my journey with you. To share all the techniques that totally changed my art! I really hope they can do the same for you too!
