5-Minute Sketchbook Rituals For Busy Days

In this video Susan Yeates addresses the common artist problem of feeling like you never quite have enough time to sketch properly. She proposes that even on very busy days, it’s possible to carve out tiny moments of creativity, just 5 minutes here and there to have a moment of meaningful sketchbook work. This was one of the first videos I collaborated on with Susan to promote her brand new art course “Tiny Moments”. The goal was to highlight and generate excitement for her upcoming course, “Tiny Moments” giving viewers a glimpse of what they could expect while maintaining the warm, arty and approachable style her audience loves. It was exciting to combine Susan’s creative 5 minute, busy day sketching tips with practical marketing, helping her to connect with both new and existing followers to join her upcoming art course.
