What my creatives say

I really enjoyed the 'Fill Your First Sketchbook in 30 Days' on line course with Irene from Makings & Musings. It was very motivating. There were lots of ideas for images to draw and resources for where to find them on line. We learned many new techniques. The videos were really helpful. The live sessions were really well presented and complemented the coursework perfectly. I would highly recommend Irene's on line art courses, both to beginners and more experienced artisits.

"Irene was an excellent teacher and would highly recommend her classes."

Hannah

"Brilliant teacher. I found the class very relaxing and engaging as Irene patiently explained how-to paint. Appreciated the fact that she explains well the technique while also encouraging you and giving you the freedom to add your own touch."

Irina

Very enjoyable course and would definitely recommend.

I enjoy all of the classes and courses at Makings & Musings. I love the live Charcoal Drawing Classes on Sunday evenings, I have learnt so much about drawing with Charcoal in these sessions. I have just completed the Autumn Drawing with coloured pencils course on line. It was excellent and I now feel confident drawing with coloured pencils, using different techniques and different mediums.

Good drawing course.

I learned so much and was introduced to so many techniques that I never tried before . The option to draw along also helps to get going

Yes, I want to start too

What Materials Do I need?

Part of the course is experimenting with different materials. You do not need to have all the materials that I use and feel free to try using other materials if you have these already. I want to inspire you to try materials you have and if you have any questions, please ask away!

As a minimum I would recommend:

a HB sketch pencil, eraser and sharpener

Watercolour brushes, a container for water, cloth and a palette.

Water based paint; watercolour paint or gouache

Watercolour paper, I would recommend thicker paper as we will use a lot of water. I use 300 GSM watercolour paper. 100% cotton paper is of the highest quality but also most expensive.

The following are optional:

a piece of hard plastic

table salt

texture medium

a spray bottle for water

oil pastels

colour pencils

inks

You can find my favourite art materials in the FAQ

Hands on approach

I love a no-nonsense approach to art as the best way to learn is by creating.

In this course we will do minimal sketching we will start painting from day one and I invite you to draw along from the start.

My hope is that you will carry on painting after you have completed this course and that I help you finding your own creative voice in the process.

How does it work?

During the course you can see what I do as if you are looking over my shoulder. I explain each step I take and you can see exactly what movements I make.

If you sign up today you will immediately have access to the day one drawing plus all introduction video's. As I do not want to overwhelm you with video's you will get access to a new session every few days after for 30 days.

Share your work

after each session I ask you to share your artwork with me, if you do that in the course I am the only person who will see it and I can give feedback if you like.

You can also share your artwork in the discussion group where all course participants can see it. (This may sound scary but it's a great step towards sharing your artwork with the world eventually if that's something you want to do.)
