“Discovering my living line has taught my pen to dance!”

Jenny, Cornwall, UK

Teacher: Paivi Eerola

I am a full-time artist with degrees in industrial design and software engineering. I created the course “Inspirational Drawing” for us who feel that life is not just about consuming. Watching beautiful images can never bring the same joy than drawing and painting your own. Artists process ideas through creating. That’s why I want you to go further than just trying to replicate the first image that you have in mind.

Paivi is a very inspirational, creative & supportive teacher. Her methods are very expressive and freeing.

– Diane Woolf, Canada

Paivi’s attitude, words of wisdom, and assignments have helped me to begin to loosen up in my work. This course is also helping me to see art, beauty, and creativity everywhere and not just in museums and galleries. I loved Paivi’s “pep talks” on each video. You always knew where we might be stuck and why and I always felt like you were talking right to me!

Supplies – Good Pen, Paper, and Something for Coloring

– Black drawing pen, tip width 0,4-0,8 mm. These can be brands like Micron, Staedtler, and Pilot Permaball. Make sure that your pen has permanent ink.
– Coloring supplies: colored pencils, watercolors and gouache paints, inks, felt-tip pens, anything that you want to use.
– Smooth blank paper. If you want to use watercolor paper, pick the smoothest “Hot Press” quality. Sketching paper and gel medium or paper glue for hand-drawn collage art.
– A blank book if you want to start an art journal for your drawings. Teacher’s recommendation: Moleskine Art Plus Sketchbook or Dylusions Creative Journal(large or small) as the quality of the paper is perfectly smooth for the drawing pen.

What technology do I need to have to enjoy the class fully?
You will need Internet access and an email account. You will also need basic programs to view (and download) MP4 videos and PDF files. Usually, these are already on your computer.

I am an absolute beginner. Is this class for me?
Yes! The only requirements are that you are an adult, have used your coloring supplies a little bit beforehand, and want to create projects that include decision-making and imagination, not only copying.

I have created art for years. Is this class for me?
Yes, if you a) have created realistic drawings but want to start drawing freely from imagination and inspiration, or b) have been enjoying messy mixed media but want to add more expression and meaning to your art.

I participated in the first version of Inspirational Drawing. Is this class for me?
Yes! Inspirational Drawing 2.0 has the same core values: celebrate drawing from imagination and inspiration and bring new perspectives to your art. But all the content is new, and the class has a more mixed-media approach. With these lessons, you can continue improving your skills and get new challenges.
