The Caffeinated Sketchbook

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

In today's video, I'm sharing a fun and creative technique inspired by my friend Cynthia Morris that brings together two of my favorite things: coffee and drawing!
I'll demonstrate several techniques on how to break the curse of the blank page using coffee stains as a fun artistic tool. Whether you're in a cozy café or on a peaceful camping trip, learn how to turn your morning cup of coffee into an art material for your sketchbook practice.

I also have an exciting announcement! Cynthia and I are leading the "Capture the Lisbon Wow" workshop again in April 2025. After an incredible experience this year, we're thrilled to invite you to join us in Lisbon for a life-changing adventure filled with creativity, new friendships, and travel. Don't wait too long—spaces are limited and tickets are selling fast! Find out more at https://www.originalimpulse.com/captu...

If you're a coffee lover like me, or just curious about new ways to enhance your drawing routine, this video is for you. Grab your favorite brew and let's get started! And if you don’t drink coffee, you can always try this with tea!
