Are you feeling a little stuck in your sketchbook practice? Or do you need motivation to begin?

This class is all about how keeping a regular sketchbook practice is beneficial for thinking, problem solving, gaining confidence, celebrating small and large victories, and just overall well being for the artist within everyone. Whether you have not drawn since grade school or you are a full time painter, this class is for everyone. We all get into creative funks or ruts, no matter what we do day-to-day. The ideas in this class are meant to inspire and help guide everyone into a place where no matter the state of mind, there is always something to draw, or a way to draw.

Artist and author Samantha Dion Baker shares some of her go-to warm up exercises to help loosen you up. She then dives into three sketchbook spread prompts and offers an example for each, created on camera, for you to watch, follow along, or just to use as inspiration.

This class is designed to get you thinking a little bit differently about your process, your "mistakes," and most of all to appreciate where you are today.
