Sketchbook to Style is my step-by-step system designed to guide you through the journey of starting a sketchbook practice to discover your unique artistic style and voice.

A Different Type of Art Class

There are countless “How to Draw” classes and videos online. What I’m teaching in this course is something deeper—something that pushes the boundaries of artmaking. If those other How-To classes are like learning to play technically correct, traditional, classical music—this class is like learning to play Jazz. 

It’s about self-expression, individuality, improvisation and above all, style.

As Pablo Picasso said, “Style is the difference between a circle and the way you draw it.”

This class is not about perspective, tone, shading, lighting, or color theory. I’m not going to show you how to draw a circle. Instead, I will guide you down the path so you can find how you draw a circle. 

I don’t want to teach you my style, I want to guide you in finding your style.

This course guides you through every part of the sketchbook journey step-by-step: experimenting with tools, conquering the blank page, paying attention, looking inside, developing a habit, doing the work, drawing from daily life, and how to keep up this creative habit for life.  

Are you one of those folks who say you can’t draw? Well, guess what—I believe everyone can draw! And learning to draw in your own style is sometimes even easier for people who haven’t spent years trying to “learn” how to draw the “right” way. We’ll also go over some basic drawing tips and techniques.
