BRIGHT sketchbook playdate

Sketchbooks are magical. In one portable place they are a space to experiment, play and let happy accidents flourish.

Sketchbooks are packed with inspiration and cherished memories

With this playful apraoch to art-making I've created a monthly online art class of bite-sized videos taking you through my drawing and mark-making process, giving you the skills and confidence to ignite your creativity and fill your sketchbook one playful drawing at a time.

Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, Sketchbook Playdate is a welcome space to find joy in drawing.

Plant the seeds of playful curiosity, watch your sketchbook bloom, and your creativity thrive. See you next playdate!

    — Vicky

  • “I thoroughly enjoyed an hour’s session with your first episode. It’s been at least two years since I have done any art so I was a tad rusty to say the least but I love, love the technique. Thank you, I am very excited to have joined you. Bring on the next episode.”

BRIGHT Ideas

Enjoy a couple of free instructional videos where you can see, first hand, how I go about creating drawings and paintings. The videos are designed to focus on one or two ideas and materials and see how a picture can be made. Enjoy watching.

The videos give a flavour of what to expect in a Sketchbook Playdate.
