Create From Your Heart:
A 5-Day Photography & Sketchbook Art Experience
“Everyday life holds countless sparks of inspiration — this is your invitation to notice them, capture them and create from the heart.”
Transform Everyday Moments into Authentic Works of Art
In this 5-day guided experience, you’ll explore how to see differently, capture what moves you through photography, and turn simple images into expressive sketchbook pages.
You’ll learn how to:
- Find inspiration in your everyday surroundings
- Capture meaningful images with your cell phone
- Explore line, shape, and colour to express emotion
- Combine photos, drawings, and colours into expressive sketchbook pages
- Build confidence in your authentic creative voice
No drawing or painting experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to play.
What You’ll Need:
- A sketchbook or a few sheets of mixed-media paper
- Any art materials you already have (pencils, paints, pastels, collage materials)
- A phone or camera to capture simple, everyday moments
- Access to Zoom and a web browser for the Google Site
Overall Theme New Year - 2026:
Creativity begins with paying attention.
This 5-day journey will help you notice the small sparks in your everyday life — moments, colours, and feelings — and translate them into simple creative studies using your own photos, colour, and line.
You’ll choose one personal theme that draws you in — something meaningful from your world — and explore it through daily exercises designed to unlock your authentic creative voice.

“I would like to share my completed artwork that I started a few months back under your guidance. It is not perfect by any means but I thoroughly enjoyed working on it whenever I could find time to do so. Thank you again.”
