Uninspired? Not motivated to draw, sketch ort paint? Frustrated with the blank canvas, don’t know where to start, can’t find any inspiration? If the answer to any of this is yes, then this class is the perfect solution for you.

My name is Imran, and I’m a graphic designer and illustrator and I advocate drawing, sketching and doodling on a daily basis to escape away into the world of art to improve your wellbeing and artistic drive!

This series is all about creating small art projects that give you an inspirational kickstart to start creating something using the art materials you already have (or to get hold of some unique materials that you haven’t tried before) and to continue sketching, drawing, doodling, designing, colouring and crafting on a daily basis!

This is the second episode of the Art Projects series where we will be creating a watercolour postcard to send out to a special friend, family member, colleague or anyone you haven’t spoken to or seen in a while. We will be using pencil, ink, markers, and watercolours!! In addition to the standard materials, we will be using a unique rag paper called Khadi Paper!

You can follow the entire process step-by-step which will involve:

Preparing the surface, in this case Khadi Paper!
Sketching our design using pencil
Splashing wonderful watercolour
Inking, outlining and adding textures
Adding highlights with white markers
Writing a lovely message on the back
Sending it to our recipient!

After completing the step-by-step lessons, you will be ready to start your class project and design your very own wonderful postcards that reflect your personality and style which you can then post away and send to someone special and put a smile on their face!

This class will give you the direction, inspiration, and motivation for you to quickly get started in designing beautiful, personalised, unique postcards.

This class is aimed at all levels of skill from beginners to seasoned professionals and we will mostly work in real-time at a nice and steady pace for you to follow along and the designs produced in the class will be available as images that you can follow in the resource sheet if required.

Please note that currently the resource sheet can only be downloaded via a desktop or laptop computer and not on the Skillshare mobile app (correct as of December 2022)

So what you waiting for? Get your art materials ready, grab yourself a nice drink, get yourself a gorgeous cake, sit back, relax, and let’s get started with the class!
