Loose Style Lighthouse
A playful 90-minute live online sketching workshop where imperfect lines are the whole point. No ruler required.
Most of us were taught that drawing should be precise, measured, and "right." But the most charming sketches — the ones with real soul — are a little loose. In this live workshop, I'll show you how to build a lighthouse from simple shapes, lean into the imperfections, and come away with a sketch you actually love. No ruler. No pressure. Just pen, paper, and a bit of play.
- How to embrace 'wonkiness' as a style and let imperfection make sketches come alive
- How to sketch loose style lighthouse from simple shapes
- How to add color to add color to your sketch.
- A repeatable approach you can use for cabins, shacks, and seaside scenes forever
- A lighthouse sketch or two.
- 90 minutes of live, step-by-step instruction on Zoom
- My full supply list (nothing fancy required)
- Q&A throughout — ask anything, anytime
- Sketchers wanting to loosen up and find their playful side
- Anyone who loves quirky buildings, seaside scenes, and wonky charm
A pen, some paper, and a little watercolor if you'd like to add color. A full simple supply list will be sent with your confirmation.

I'm an architect, artist, and lifelong sketcher. For years I taught myself to draw precisely — straight lines, perfect proportions. It wasn't until I let my sketches get a little loose that I actually started enjoying them.
This workshop is everything I wish I'd known earlier: that charm lives in the imperfections, and that a wonky little lighthouse drawn with joy beats a flawless one drawn with dread.
Questions?
Not at all. This workshop is built for beginners and rusty sketchers alike. If you can hold a pen, you can sketch a lighthouse.
Just a pen, some paper, and a little watercolor if you'd like to add color. I'll send a simple supply list — nothing fancy required.
No problem. You'll get the full recording to rewatch on your own time, forever.
Yes — it's a live Zoom workshop. You'll sketch along with me in real time from wherever you are.
