This is a fabulous course! I tried new things and expanded my artistic tool box and mindset.

I loved this challenge and although this may sound like hyperbole, I believe the workshop saved the life of a friend of mine who was in a dark place during covid. I REALLY believe being creative pulled her back into the light. She's doing great now!

Not hyperbole at all - I'm pretty sure working on that sketchbook kept me sane in those lonely days.

Jealous book. very nice. The themes have been clearly implemented, I can still learn something from them. I started mine together with the course, very fun to do then and now. My theme is life, through all my art journals, it is also very clear to me 😉

I took this challenge during covid and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the first time I had ever filled a sketbook...very satisfying.

I took that course and loved it! I choose to use my pot plants and cacti as my theme. It got me used to working in sketchbooks again. Highly recommended!

Working on that sketchbook really helped me get through lockdown - possibly the best £12 I spent and I so enjoyed the 31 day sketchbook challenge also. I use the techniques all the time, adapting them to what I am doing - the first one was rather incoherent - they improve with practice.
