Creative flow doesn't have to disappear when life gets hectic. You just need some tools to keep you going, that doesn't take up too much of your time.

In this class, you'll learn how to stay in the zone with the help of short, concrete art processes you can return to whenever you have limited time, energy or just an overwhelmed nervous system.

Each quickie is built around:

a specific set of art supplies
a clear sequence of steps
a predictable and satisfying process.

You'll learn:

about how to use your art supplies in creative ways
how to make the most of your precious time
different ways of mark making
using layers to build compelling compositions

Some sections focus on very short projects you can finish in minutes. Others offer slightly longer processes that still feel manageable on low energy days.

There's also a mindfulness section, focussed on repetitive, attention based mark making without therapeutic framing or emotional analysis. They are just there for you to calm your mind whenever you need it.

This class is designed for:

artists who feel blocked and overwhelmed
artists who want to learn more about their art supplies
Beginners who want clear guidance
Anyone who wants to maintain creative flow without pressure

You don't need expensive materials or prior experience. Just curiosity and a willingness to follow the process.

Think of this class as a toolbox. Something you can come back to again and again, whenever you want to make art but don't want to make big decisions.

Now let me show you some of the class projects

Hi everyone! Have you seen my new class on Art Quickies yet? I'll share a few of the lessons with you but there are more laid back and fun projects waiting for you. ❤️

We'll start off slow with some quick wins by doing gentle collages. Some figurative, some abstract.

Then we'll play with alternative drawing tools to create loose lines, as usual, allowing our art to be perfectly imperfect. :)

After a stress free play session with mark making, we'll try a little drawing. I chose a bird but you can draw what you want! Your art, your way! 🥳

We give ourselves permission to draw badly and I'll give you some tips to make those drawings real fun nonetheless. 😉

We'll also do little mixed media adventures where I show you what your art supplies can do so you can see if you like it for future art projects.

And of course, as is tradition, we will occasionaly find some wonky weirdos while creating intuitively!

Don't force it, take your quickies as they come.

I will also show you a cool way to create loose and etherial little mixed media portraits.

We'll also do a handful of art quickies that I designed to stimulate mindfulness and reducing stress. Sometimes we'll create cool art, sometimes we allow ourselves to just move our pencil across the page. Let's take off the pressure to create something GOOD. Spending some time with our art supplies is more than eough when our battery runs empty. As long as we keep our creative flow going, we'll keep our muses around for when we're a little bit more recharged.

So, all in all, we're gonna play hard but keep it relaxed and manageable at the same time. The perfect recipe to prevent overwhelm and creative block. I hope to see you in class! 😘
