Your Sketchbook Challenge

Leisure Painter & David Bellamy present

Leisure Painter and artist/explorer, David Bellamy invite you to participate in our sketchbook challenge. In each issue of Leisure Painter until the August issue, David will set you a drawing project to complete in your journal/sketchbook and offer practical advice on how to tackle it. Upload a scan of your best page each month on our website, PaintersOnline (see below for details), and David and LP editor, Ingrid Lyon, will select the month’s winner.

Whether you want to go out and about to sketch on-site or stay at home and work from your own reference material and memories, we are looking forward to seeing your work.
