Hi I am Irene (Ren).
 
I help you build a gentle, joyful art practice from home, even if you think you are not very creative.

If you are new here, start with the Sketch Hub

  • Five short sketching videos each week.

  • I help you build a regular, sustainable sketching habit.

  • A library with all previous sketch recordings.

  • Simple materials only – just paper and a pen or pencil.

  • Weekly themes to give you easy prompts and inspiration.

  • A focus on the basics, confidence, and enjoying the process.

  • A supportive space to share your work and connect with me and other members.
