Get ready to embark on a creative journey where we'll learn to view the world around us from a fresh perspective! Welcome to a series of classes : The Art of Seeing- Train Yourself To Be Inspired Anywhere.

In this fist class, Inspired by Nature, you'll explore your surroundings! We'll find inspiration through daily prompts and snap some pictures. Then, turn Procreate into a sketch book to create digital illustrations, and refine your style to achieve consistency in your artwork

Part treasure-hunt, part drawing challenge, in this class you will:

Train yourself to find inspiration in everyday life
Channel it into your creative practice
Develop consistency in your art style through mindful decisions
Build a curated inspiration & resources library

For 5 days, you'll get a fresh prompt to use as a guide, and capture the magic that lies just outside your doorstep. Your task is to find inspiration based on these prompts, snap some photos, and then create illustrations based on your discoveries.

We will pay close attention to our design and make conscious style choices to carry throughout all the illustrations from the challenge.

The best part about this class is that it's not just about creating art, but also about learning to find inspiration anywhere and developing your personal style.

Additional class take-aways include:

Gathering resources to overcome creative blocks;
Ideas on how to use your gathered inspiration;
Learning how you can find your own art style;
A method for escaping cookie-cutter references.

The medium is completely up to you. I'll be working in Procreate, and as usual, sharing my best tips on the app, but please feel free to choose any medium you'd like – whether it's traditional, like pencils, watercolors, or acrylics, or digital tools like Photoshop or Illustrator. Aside from your art materials of choice, all you need for this class is a camera (whatever you have in hand- no need for fancy equipment) and a desire to go explore!

This class was designed for:

Artists of all skill levels;
Procreate users;
Artists struggling to find their style and keep it consistent;
People who can find inspiration, but never know what to do with it;
Someone dealing with creative block;
Anyone looking for a little push to appreciate the small things and find beauty everywhere.

Remember: There's no pressure – just enjoy the process, stop to smell the flowers and allow yourself to have fun with it.

So, if you are craving a creative escape that will help you see the world in a whole new light- look no further! Just gather your art materials, put on your walking shoes, and let's embark on this inspiring 5-day art challenge together!

The brush I am using throughout this class is the Color Pencil Waxy, from the Watercolor MaxPacks Set. Please know that I have NO affiliation with them. I just really like these brushes. Feel free to use any other brush. The Peppermint brush, from Procreate's default Sketching Set is a great free option!
