In love with moody monochromes or looking to work on technical elements of your watercolor practice without getting distracted with mixing color?

It’s anything but boring!

Learning art can hard enough, and you can also find yourself overwhelmed with how much there is to learn. Sometimes it's often more difficult to decide who or where to learn it from.
I only like to publish classes that are original, well-composed, and full of value, helping YOU learn better.

This is a detailed breakdown of the how and why I design, create, and use a custom sketchbook. By designing and creating your own sketchbook, you'll reduce the investment associated with quality materials and create a format best suited to your work. Your new "everyday" sketchbook will create less anxiety over the fear of wasting an expensive/pretty sketchbook or fighting a bad format, making more time to put art on paper!
