Instructor: Jeremy Sutton (jeremy@jeremysutton.com)


Model: Inky (inkybunny2011@gmail.com)


Please email Inky and I any drawings and replay videos you made during the class – we’d love to see them! I’ve posted some in my News & Views blog post on JeremySutton.com.

You will be led in art exercises designed to help you loosen up on the digital canvas and draw what you see. Please share your drawings and video replays with Jeremy & Inky via email (given above), and include Jeremy’s handle (@jeremydsutton) if you post them on social media. Thank you!! The top three (plus one) essential take aways are:

  1. Observe with intensity & intention

  2. Make every mark meaningful

  3. Go for the essence

  4. Suggest rather than describe
