Smashing Sketches

This channel is primarily my art activities and tutorials for sketching beginners. Occasionally, I interview seasoned sketchers for their insights and tips on sketching as well as their approach to the craft. I am hoping to help beginners to smash more sketches out of the park! I will focus on Materials, informal Membership of art groups, Mind, developing Motivation and finally looking at processes or building sketching Muscles. When I travel for leisure, I might also pop in those short travel videos here as well... hope you enjoy my meandering... :)

Ready to Sketch, Sip, and Soak in the Magic of Yogjakarta?


Join me from 10–13 July 2025 for a special travel sketching workshop in one of Indonesia’s most soulful cities.
Whether you’re a total beginner or just craving creative time away, this is your chance to:
• Sketch majestic temples like Ratu Boko & Mendut
• Wander through the royal palace and hidden alleyways of Taman Sari
• Sip Luwak coffee in a quiet café surrounded by rice fields
• Stay at the beautiful Hotel Phoenix, right in the heart of the action


We’ll learn, laugh, and sketch — all at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to explore, eat, and be inspired.

Spots are limited — message me if you’d like the full itinerary or pricing details.
Let’s capture Yogjakarta, one sketch at a time.
