Welcome to Sketchbook Squad!
Enrollment Open!
This is the drawing circle that you've been waiting for!
With Sarah Watts
Let's Fast Track Your Skills as an Artist.
More than 50 Video Lessons
My ever-growing video library includes foundation lessons, guest speakers, drawing and mindset motivation, and more! And each live session is recorded in case you miss one! It's like creativity Netflix!
Sketchbook Squadgoals
My biggest goal is to help you carve out some creative space for yourself every day. Even if it's just for ten minutes. That daily ritual is where you will grow, develop, and ultimately achieve your own goals!
Challenges and Prompts
Let's be honest, sometimes the biggest hurdle out there is our indecision in WHAT to draw! I provide prompts and references, and even host challenges all aimed at getting you drawing TODAY.
The Squad Community
Every journey is better when you get to meet friends along the way! My private community is a place where you can share your art, ask questions, find new resources, and make creative friendships!
