WANT TO boost your confidence & creativity?
break free from perfectionism?
see yourself from a fresh new perspective?
GET The Art of self-Love and discover a fun and empowering form of self-care that will enrich your life for the better.
Written by our Founder Dulcie Ball and published by Hardie Grant UK, Sketch Appeal: The Art Of Self Love is a joyful playbook designed to ignite your creativity, build your self-confidence and boost your mental health.
As well as lots of vibrant inspiration and illustrations, it’s packed with portrait prompts and challenges designed to ignite your inner child and bring joy into your everyday life. Playing both artist and muse, you’ll learn to see and draw yourself in expressive new ways - you might even meet your alter-ego!
You’ll be challenged to experiment with a range of materials, styles and approaches that encourage you to break free from ‘perfection’, re-frame ‘mistakes’ and discover new forms of self-expression. The book won’t teach you the ‘rules’ of portraiture - it will give you the confidence to break them!
Forget mastering the ‘perfect’ portrait, The Art of Self Love is about cherishing the most important masterpiece in your life – YOU!
