is structured to give you
steady momentum
without overwhelm.

brand-new module built around an
Element of Art and a Principle of Design.

one Principle of Design each week—
like Line, Texture, or Color—
so you’ll always know where to start.
With clear direction, inspiring prompts,
and fresh ideas waiting for you,
the blank page becomes exciting
instead of intimidating.
Exciting and varied images designed for prompting inspiration.They are not meant to be copied, but to spark your creativity and guide your own unique sketchbook artwork.
Every prompt is paired with an instructor-led video, where the art educator guides you through the theme & shares inspiration
to get you started creating.

Go from staring at a blank page to filling it with fearless, inspired creations.
You’ll concentrate on one Element of Art and one Principle of Design each week—
like Line, Texture, Color, or Pattern—
so you can dive in without the overwhelm of “where do I start?”

while still leaving room for personal expression.
This means you’ll never stare at a blank page wondering what to do—
you’ll have a clear direction, open-ended prompts,
and inspiration images ready to guide you.
By the end, you won’t just have a sketchbook full of pages—
you’ll have the momentum and confidence to keep creating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the SKETCHBOOK BOOTCAMP for?
The Sketchbook Bootcamp is designed for artists and art enthusiasts of all levels, from beginners eager to explore creatively to experienced artists looking for inspiration.
What materials do I need?
For Sketchbook Bootcamp, you don’t need fancy or expensive supplies—just a few basics to get started. The course is designed to be flexible and open-ended, so you can use whatever you already have or want to explore.
Recommended Materials
Sketchbook → any size you feel comfortable with (spiral-bound, hardbound, or mixed media paper).
Drawing Tools → pencils, pens, markers, charcoal, or ink—whatever you like to sketch with.
Color Media → watercolor, colored pencils, pastels, acrylics, or even digital tools if that’s your preference.
Collage Materials → scissors, glue, and scrap paper, magazines, or textured papers for layering.
Optional Extras → brushes, ink wash, stencils, or any favorite tools you enjoy experimenting with.
You don’t need to buy a big list of art supplies.
The prompts are designed so you can explore them with any medium
you enjoy—from simple pencil sketches to layered mixed media pages.
The idea is to build a habit and find joy in experimenting, not to stress over having the “perfect” tools.
What is the CREATIVE COMMUNITY?
The Creative Community is the supportive online space connected to your Sketchbook Bootcamp (and other Online Studio Arts courses). It’s where students can:
Connect With Other Artists
You won’t be working in isolation. Inside the Creative Community, you’ll meet other students exploring the same prompts. It’s a chance to see how differently each person interprets the same theme, which is inspiring and often eye-opening.
Share Your Work
Students are encouraged to upload photos of their sketchbook pages. This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing your progress, sparking new ideas, and celebrating creativity in all its forms.
Encourage & Get Feedback
The Creative Community is designed as a safe, positive space where you can receive encouragement, constructive comments, and share your own observations to help others grow.
Stay Motivated
Seeing others post their progress helps keep your momentum going. One student’s bold color palette might inspire your next page, while your line drawing might spark someone else’s experiment.
You can think of it as your Sketchbook Sanctuary online—a place where your art is seen, celebrated, and connected to a bigger circle of creatives.
Do I need prior art experience to sign up?
One of the biggest strengths of SKETCHBOOK BOOTCAMP is that it is designed for all levels of experience.
Beginners will love it because the prompts give you a clear starting point without requiring any formal training-you can experiment freely, discover new materials and learn as you go.
Intermediate and experienced artists will benefit because the prompts are open ended. You can push your skills further, explore advanced techniques and apply the themes in ways that refelct your own personal style.
Think of it this way: you don't need to know how to draw or paint before you begin- the SKETCHBOOK BOOTCAMP is your guide to building comfidence, creating consistently and enjoying the process.
We would LOVE to have you join us!
