Master sketching & develop your own unique art style
Even If You’ve Struggled for Years
If you can hold a pencil, you can learn to sketch! Sketching is a skill - just like baking bread or playing badminton. I’ve taught thousands of students sketching and I’ll show you the exact steps to confidently create your own art style. Join Brave Brushes Studio & get step-by-step lessons, real feedback, and a creative community to support you.

Two years ago, I set a goal for myself: “I want to find my own style.” And now, after two years, I’ve found it! The difference between my sketches from 2022 and 2024 is huge - not just for me, but also for my family and friends, who now instantly recognize my work.
Looking back, I know this was the best artistic decision I ever made. I love drawing and painting, meeting like-minded people online, and sharing our passion for art. In the summer, I take my sketchbook outside - something that felt scary at first, but now I do with confidence.
If you’re looking for a community where you can be yourself, get feedback from both a teacher and fellow members, and grow beyond where you are now - or even if you’re just starting with drawing, urban sketching, watercolor, or gouache -Brave Brushes is the place to be!

Why sketching feels so hard
(And how to fall in love with it?)
"You love sketching but…"
You keep copying others’ style instead of creating your own.
You’ve tried YouTube tutorials, but they don’t seem to help.
You don’t have time to figure out what you’re doing wrong.
You feel frustrated and stuck, wondering if you’re "good enough" to call yourself an artist.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. And the good news? You don’t need more random tutorials. You need the right system, feedback, and support to build your skills - at the right pace.

I’m Julia, and I created Brave Brushes Studio because I believe anyone can learn to sketch. I struggled for years thinking I wasn’t ‘good enough,’ until I realized that art isn’t about talent - it’s about learning the right skills in the right order. That’s why I created a system that actually works, and have taught over 60,000 artists.
Hello,
Let me help you find the joy
in your sketching journey
-
Is this membership right for me?Brave Brushes is the perfect place for: ✔️ Absolute beginners. My Foundations Roadmap will take you step-by-step through the foundational sketching skills you need to start urban sketching. After a few months, you have a solid foundation to start experimenting more in your sketching practice and developing your own style. ✔️ Artists with some sketching experience. Explore new materials, learn new sketching techniques and foster a new sense of play in your sketching practice. Some Brave Brushes members have been part of the community for more than two years, so the membership also includes more intermediate, focused courses on subjects like painting white objects, two-point perspective and painting water. ✔️ Artists who are looking to expand their sketching practice by trying a new material or sketching different subjects. For example, if you’re a watercolor artist who usually paints botanicals, you may be interested in my courses on alcohol markers or sketching people.
-
How much time do I need to commit to the membership?I suggest committing 3 to 5 hours per month to get the most out of your membership. That gives you time each month to join the Live Sketching Session and the live Q&A (or watch the replay) and complete a course of 4 to 5 pre-recorded, weekly lessons, for example on color theory or one-point perspective. However, you can choose to take the courses at your own pace and spread them over a longer period of time. And if you want to spend more time in the community, I’m confident there are plenty of courses, workshops and challenges to keep you engaged!
-
Will I get immediate access to all content?Yes, once you subscribe you’ll receive immediate access to all content. That includes access to more than 20 focused courses to practice an aspect of urban sketching, all my Skillshare courses and standalone workshops, recordings of more than 20 live sketching sessions and Q&A sessions, and my friendly Facebook community for members.
-
What if I can’t attend the monthly live sketching and Q&A calls live?Our monthly live sketching sessions and Q&A calls are generally held in the evenings on Central European (CET) time. All live sessions are recorded and uploaded to the website the next day. And you’re always welcome to submit a question for the Q&A and watch the replay later.
-
Can I cancel my membership?You can cancel your membership at any time, without any cancellation fees. You’ll continue to have access to the site until the end of your current payment term.
-
What happens to my course progress if I cancel my membership?Your course progress will be saved when you cancel your membership. If you rejoin Brave Brushes Studio later, you can pick up where you left off.
