Discover a mindful way to draw, doodle and sketch, taking those simple doodles and transforming them into beautiful art.

My name is Toby, known as 'Toby Sketch Loose', and sketching and painting is a really important part of my life. Not just as an artist and a teacher, but also as a mindful way to relax and take care of my mental health.

The brilliance of doodling is that you could doodle anything - from fruits, to farms, to your favourite hobbies - and with the techniques in this class your doodles can turn into stress-free yet beautiful works of art.

I’ve always loved doodling, and in this class I want to show you how to not just doodle but also make doodling a valuable part of your artistic process. Allowing you to use mindful techniques to produce delightful micro paintings that have a connection to you, and the important things in your life.

By using these techniques, letting your mind wander, and understanding that you are already a unique and fantastic artist you’ll unleash your inner creativity.

Together we will:

Understand how doodling and mindfulness are linked
Examine simple doodling techniques
Explore the concept of ‘doodle-storming’ creative ideas
Refine our doodles with colour and attention to detail
Present our doodles with space
Create beautiful and stress-relieving art

And, as we go, I'll give you all the tips and tricks I use to create these fun little paintings, and show you all the mistakes I make along the way whilst letting them go and keeping a relaxed throughout.

No matter where you have reached in your artistic journey, what kind of artist or creator you are, you'll leave this class feeling inspired and confident in your creative abilities!
