Sketchbook Revival: Free Sketchbook Challenge

I’m delighted to share a lovely free opportunity with you. I’m a tutor in Sketchbook Revival, a free online sketchbook challenge, and registration is now open.

Dates: April 11–21, 2026
11 days · 30+ artists · 34 sessions

Each day offers a selection of sessions from a wonderful group of practising artists, all sharing different ways to explore creativity in a sketchbook. You can dip in and out as you like, there’s no pressure to do everything.

In my session, we’ll be creating a forest of weird and wonderful trees from the imagination, using drawing and mixed media. It’s a playful, accessible session, very much about enjoying the process.

What I particularly love about Sketchbook Revival (organised by the lovely Karen Abend) is the flexibility. You can:

• Join from home, at your own pace

• Choose only the sessions that appeal to you

• Take part for free

It’s a gentle way to begin, to restart, or to bring a little more energy into your sketchbook practice. If it sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can sign up here:

A quick note: as a participating artist, I’m an affiliate for the optional VIP pass (which gives extended access), so I may receive a small commission if you choose to upgrade. The challenge itself is completely free, and I only ever share things I genuinely feel are inspiring and worthwhile.
