⁠
"This was a fantastic class! I've struggled with painting trees for ages, I couldn't get my head around the techniques needed to paint realistic looking trees but Sharone gives easy to follow instructions and techniques that just click when you put it all together. I would definitely recommend this class if you are struggling to paint the irregular nature of trees."⁠
⁠
It always makes me so happy to read your reviews! To hear I have helped you overcome a struggle like this with your painting so that it is more enjoyable for you means the world 💕⁠

What is one of your favourite quotes?⁠
⁠
Something that inspires you and motivates you? ⁠
⁠
In my email last Friday, I talked about how finding joy in the process has been a favourite of mine. It reminds me that creating is not just about the end result. The process and journey is just as important, if not more so. And really, what's the point if I'm not enjoying it?⁠
⁠
It's so easy for things to get in the way that can take away that joy from us as artists. Perfectionism. Procrastination. Fear. Self-doubt. These are all things I have experienced a lot of and worked really hard to overcome in the last few years so I can get into that zone and find that joy in the process every time I paint. ⁠
⁠
It's still a journey and I'm always learning but I want to share all of that with you so that you can find your joy too!⁠
⁠
I'm going to be sharing a lot more about all of these throughout the year in my weekly Friday emails so if you're not already subscribed, sign up now so you don't miss out on any of them.⁠
⁠
This Friday, I'll be going into more detail about the watermelon tutorial that I shared last year, giving you more tips for success! Don't miss it! 🍉💌

In this week's Friday email, I will be sharing a few ideas with you for how you can start that first page of a new sketchbook! 📚⁠
⁠
It can be so easy to hesitate and procrastinate about starting a new book with the fear of ruining it - I have done that so much in the past! But now, I would much rather dive in and get painting so I don't waste any precious time with worrying about doing the wrong thing. So if you have struggled with this too, I hope my ideas may help you next time you start a new book!⁠

Do you look back through your old work? 🎨⁠
⁠
I love spending time reflecting on my journey - looking through old sketchbooks or journals to realise how much I have grown or changed! But I know that it can be so hard to decide what to put on that first page or to worry that you will mess a book up - which can lead to procrastinating and not painting at all! ⁠
⁠
Yesterday I shared a post talking about starting a new sketchbook and how your mindset plays such a big part in your journey as an artist. ⁠
⁠
So in this week's Friday email, I'm going to be sharing a few ideas for how you can get started. If you're not already subscribed, sign up via the link in my bio now so you don't miss out! 💌⁠

How do you start a new sketchbook? 📒⁠
⁠
In my Friday email last week I talked a bit about my sketchbook story - how I went from never finishing a sketchbook from fear of ruining them, to finishing them and being proud of the mess. ⁠
⁠
So this week I wanted to share some tips with you for how to tackle that first page in a new book!⁠
⁠
My first tip is about mindset and accepting that this book is a part of your journey. In a few years or decades you will be able to look back on this book to see how much you have grown as an artist and it will be a wonderful reflection of everything you learnt at this specific point in your life. Every page is an opportunity to create something and learn. You can't fail. You can only succeed or learn, and learning is a success in itself. ⁠
⁠
So really, there is only success! 🎉⁠
⁠
I have some ideas I will be sharing with you in this Friday's email for what you can do on that first page to get you started. If you're not already subscribed, sign up via the link in my bio now so you don't miss out! 💌⁠

Here are two of the additional examples I show you in my latest Skies & Silhouettes class on Skillshare 🎨 ⁠
⁠
Head to my reels to see the 15 projects from the class or read more below! ⁠
⁠
This class is all about painting relaxing and simple skies and silhouettes. It follows on from my first relaxation class and includes lots of useful tips, techniques and practice sessions for beginners. And it's all in real time so you can paint right along with me!⁠
⁠
My main aim for this class is to give you lots much inspiration for mini watercolour projects to get you painting more... to help give you ideas for what to paint in just 15 minutes or so whenever you want to paint something for a little bit of relaxation or just for fun. ⁠

Is it too early for daffodils? 🌼 Here's a little step by step for how to draw one so you're ready when they pop up! Daffodils can look quite complicated, but once you simplify them down into steps - gradually building up the detail - they become much easier to draw. Save this for later when you're ready to give it a go! ✏️ If you’re getting excited for Spring like me, swipe to see some of my classes on Skillshare that are great for this time of year! ☺️
