Making magic
I’m delighted that you’d like to receive my art email ‘Making Magic: Art Notes and Insights’. As a thank you here is a free mixed media sketchbook class SKETCHBOOK LOVE.
You can access it immediately, a link will also be landing in your inbox shortly incase you want to come back to it another time….
Here’s what to expect
You’ll now receive a few welcome emails from me over the next few weeks, filled with art ideas, inspiration and creative treats.
At first, you’ll hear from me a little more often, as I send you some extra notes to spark your creativity.
After that, we’ll settle into a cosy rhythm of fortnightly emails a warm letter from my studio, usually arriving every other Tuesday.
I'm so excited to share this creative journey with you…
A little about me…
I’m Helen Wells, a full-time artist, art educator and lover of sketchbooks (even though they used to terrify me).
I believe a sketchbook isn’t just a place to practice, it’s a space to connect to your art, to yourself, have fun and discover.
My work is all about helping you find your own creative rhythm, not by following formulas, but by falling in love with the process itself.
Creative confidence
I’m the author of Expressive Sketchbooks: Developing Creative Skills, Courage and Confidence (Quarry Books, 2020) and the creator of a series of online classes that have supported thousands of artists in growing both their sketchbook and studio practice.
But I haven’t always been confident. In fact, for years, sketchbooks felt like pressure instead of possibility.
That’s why it’s such a joy now to help others move past fear, loosen their grip, and discover the quiet magic of making art that feels like theirs.
My mission? To share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) so you feel supported, inspired, and most of all creatively at home.
