Description

Drawing Nature - Quick Sketch Flower Edition

Nature is such a big source of inspiration for artists. The beauty of creation is simply stunning! No wonder it brings such joy to be able to capture some of this beauty on paper!

Accomplishing this task, however, can be somewhat intimidating. Depending on the level of your drawing skills, you’ll be facing different challenges….

“Drawing specific flowers (which someone else can actually recognize and identify!) is just way too hard. I don’t know where to start to make this happen. No matter how I try, it just never turns out right!“

“I love drawing beautiful flowers, but I don’t do it as often as I would like, because it takes so many hours to get a nice result.“

“Once I put my hand to paper to draw the lovely flowers I am closely observing, I get lost in the details. It seems like I’m trying so hard to make sure I capture all the dynamics and different elements involved, that I get ‘trapped’ somewhat along the way…”

My name is Benjamin Aeilkema and I’m an illustrator and Artist from The Netherlands. I love creating Artworks with all kinds of materials. As many, many other artists, I also find great joy in capturing the beauty of nature in artworks. There is just something very special about this!

But I can also identify with the challenges and struggles many people have shared with me over the past few years. These very same issues I’ve been dealing with in my own works. It can be really frustrating to get stuck along the way and not knowing how to proceed, or how to improve the way you’re going about things.

Nevertheless, I somehow was convinced that I could discover the right techniques to conquer these challenges.

You might be surprised to hear that the key I found, has everything to do with the way we go about STARTING a flower drawing. The key is in the way you observe the flowers and what parts you really need to focus on in your drawing. Just as important is understanding which unnecessary, time consuming details you need to eliminate from your work process.

In my quest for a very successful Quick Sketch Method, I discovered we all have the tendency towards focusing on the wrong details, in the wrong order. This makes drawing so much harder than it needs to be. It takes away from the joy and pleasure we can all find in drawing flowers, no matter what your current skill level might be.

In this Art Class you will discover the key to wonderful Quick Sketching - a transformation of your thinking pattern in where to start and where to end. You will be delivered from getting lost in the details and find a new revolutionizing workflow.

So are you ready to unlock your capacity to do amazing Quick Sketches?

  • Capture what you observe quickly

  • So you can still draw something convincing without it having to take hours from your precious time

  • Discover this very special Quick Sketch Method which is easy to adopt, yet easy to adapt to your own style, wishes and liking

  • Use this method to create stylized, yet charming drawings

  • Create lovely background fillers in no time

  • If you’re a beginner you can certainly use these newly acquired skills as a stepping stone. This will help you overcome the intimidation to take on the next level of more detailed drawings. Once you master this method, you’ll face that challenge with confidence

Gain a whole new perspective on the way you work!

Enrolling in this Art Class will give you 9 video lessons with clear instructions and examples. In these videos, I will be sharing my quick sketching method with you. You will greatly benefit from my decades long experience as an instructor and teacher.

My easy to follow teaching method will help you to understand exactly how to get from point A to point B. The in-depth demos make even the more complicated matters easy to understand and apply.

The skill level advancing assignments are all truly focused on helping you grow. They’re fun to do, allowing you to keep on discovering new potentials. You will be equipped to explore so many wonderful ways to make amazing quick flower sketches ALL ON YOUR OWN!

There's more......

Additional PDF’s: Great Time Savers in PDF format

To help you save time, I’m providing you with a handy book of notes. Once you’ve completed an assignment, there’s no need to re-watch the video lesson. Instead, all of my finished works are in this booklet. Just find the lesson you’re on and compare your work to the finished assignment in the book. Again, this will save you time and allow you to keep on going.

That’s not all though, I’ve also included a booklet with photo references. In this booklet you’ll find photos of all the flowers I’ve used in the lessons. This addition will help you to work in any season, regardless of which flowers do or don’t grow. While I encourage you to get your own reference material, I understand that’s not always possible. So with this booklet you have plenty of reference material to get you started.

Additional demos: Join me at work

Wouldn't it be great to see me at work, rather than only seeing me teach? Now you can. With these 3 additional videos you get to join me at work. While working I've filmed 3 projects from start to finish. Once you have gone through the complete Art Class, you can see how I actually use the techniques I teach. Even better, join me in recreating these projects yourself, using all that you've discovered.

Enroll now to enjoy the wonder of this Quick Sketch Method – Flower Edition. See you inside.

Who this course is for:

  • Artists and non-artists of any level
  • Beginning artists
  • Intermediate artists
  • Anyone with a desire to draw nature with a fresh perspective
  • The lessons are presented with such simplicity and clarity that anyone can follow and do them, from beginner to advanced

Benjamin, love your classes. I've completed two of them. I've purchased a third, that I'm just starting. I love your instructional methods. I'm a hobbyist.... not an institutionalized (i.e. university) art student. So I very much appreciate the quality of your instruction, balanced with your approach that appeals to "everyday" people. Thank you.

My name is Benjamin Aeilkema and I’m an illustrator, artist and art teacher from The Netherlands.

I love creating artworks with traditional media and with digital media as well. My favorites are ink, fineliners, watercolor and watercolor pencils, but I am in no way limited to those.

My favorite themes are houses, landscapes and animals, but I like other themes like fantasy and sci-fi and many others as well.

My artworks are often fun, sometimes serious or with a deeper meaning. My love for God is often also expressed in and through art.

For many years I’ve enjoyed creating art, learning many skills and techniques along the way. I often have a personal way of applying these techniques to my artworks.

I love to share my knowledge, helping others to start their journey in art or getting a bit further along the way. While theory in itself is very useful, I always aim at making the theory practical, so that others can apply it in their works.

Now the time has come to share my personal and often unique insight into art with others through Art Classes. For that purpose, I’m combining my experience as a high school and college teacher with my love for art.
