No, the courses are all instantly available, with all pre-recorded videos and written materials. And all the courses are yours for as long as Sketch Loose exists!

Of course, I say dive in and start sketching! Remember, there is a 14 day money back guarantee on all my courses. If you decide it’s not for you just let me know.


Where do I find my courses?

Just click the login button on the menu at the top of the page, or follow the link below for a walk through of the course area.

01. How do I sign up for a course?

Click on any course that you like and hit ‘join now’. For the free course, you’ll need to input your name and email address, and for the other courses you’ll need to pop in your payment details in the secure payment platform.

Straight after completing that you’ll receive a welcome email from me with links to your course. The courses are pre-recorded and instantly available!

02. How long does a course take?

Most courses take 4-12 weeks. But you can go at your own speed, faster or slower depending on your schedule.

03. I’m a beginner — can I do these courses?

Absolutely. Most courses are beginner friendly, though some are a steeper learning curve they’re certainly achievable! Whilst the more challenging courses will give even experienced sketchers something to work through. For more information on difficulty levels, check out the course road map HERE.

04. What if I don’t like the course?

If you have any difficulties or challenges in the course, just email me and we’ll make it right.

If, for whatever reason, you purchase a course and feel it’s not right for you, I’ll make it right, whether that’s a transfer to a different course or a refund. As a formal policy I guarantee refunds within 14 days.

05. Can I watch lessons again after I finish?

Yes! Once you join, you can watch all the lessons anytime, forever, even if new content is added later.

06. Which course should I do first?

For most people I highly recommend the Beginner’s Course! For advanced sketchers … the Urban Sketching course. Check out the course road map HERE. It gives you lots of information about the challenge level of each course, what each entails, and the order I suggest taking them in.

07. Where do I find my purchased courses?

If you’ve purchased a course, you’ll find it by logging in to your course dashboard. You can do this by clicking the ‘login’ button in the top right of this page, or by following the step-by-step guide HERE.

08. How challenging are the courses?

Every course is labelled by level, from absolute Beginner through to Intermediate/Advanced, so you always know what you’re stepping into. Start easy and climb at your own pace.

09. Why do the courses have different prices?

It mostly comes down to the size and depth of the course. Higher-priced courses feature more lessons, longer video runtimes, and dive much deeper into complex techniques. Some courses also take more resources to create, for example, Sketching Outside required extensive travel and on-location filming.

10. What exactly is Patreon?

Patreon is a monthly membership, like buying me a fancy coffee once a month, that gives you exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, early access to YouTube content and courses, discounts you won’t find elsewhere, and access to a thriving community of fellow sketchers. There are no contracts, you can cancel whenever you like, no questions asked.

11. Is there a time limit on access?

No time limits, once you have a course, it’s yours to keep and revisit whenever you like.

12. What currency will I be charged in?

Prices are shown in GBP on the site as I’m a small UK based artist/business. You can use google to check the equivalent prices in your local currency and you are able to pay by card, Paypal, apple pay and android pay (and more).

13. How do I access my course after purchase?

You’ll receive an email with a link to your course, check your spam folder if it hasn’t arrived. You can also log in at any time using the login button in the top right of this page.

14. Are the courses live?

All courses are pre-recorded in high quality with instant access, so there’s no danger of missing a live session! For courses that include personalised feedback, simply post in the lesson comments, I review and respond to student work on a weekly basis.
