Make creativity a habit and practice sneaking in 15 minutes of “me time” to play with your pens and paints. Create a plan so that you’ll never have to stare at a blank page, waiting for inspiration to strike.

What can you create in a 15 min creative break? I’ll show you how to fill a sketchbook page in that time. It might not be much, but from repetitive experience I have learnt that sneaking in that time for me to play with paint- in between the hustle and busyness of the everyday- is a much needed break. It rejuvenates me, and I come out on the other side feeling recharged and with a positive attitude. What I paint in my sketchbook does not have to be a master piece, it just needs to have a positive vibe, feel cheerful and bring a smile to my face.

In this class, you will learn

How to start a sketchbook with a theme
Choosing art supplies that you already own
How to prep sketches in bulk
Create a page with just a marker
Paint a bright colorful watercolor floral
Paint with acrylic paints

By the end of this class, following the class videos, you will have created three sketchbook pages from start to finish. You should leave inspired to fill in all those remaining blank pages too.

Even if you are new to keeping a sketchbook, and a beginner to painting these you’ll find these pages easy to follow along!

Happy painting!

PS: This is my first Skillshare class (and hopefully not the last, I have ideas brewing already for another class!) so I would appreciate your honest feedback. If you liked something in the class or if there is something I need to improve on I’d love to hear about it.
