By our founder, Danny Gregory
Do you struggle with calling yourself “an artist” and denying your own creativity, as if you needed permission to create?
Did you abandon and neglect your creative side — maybe back in high-school! — and would love to see it come back to life and flourish once again?
Have you tried taking art lessons recently, but they left you feeling inept or frustrated or bored or guilty?
That’s about to change.
Read on and you’ll discover how to kindle a spark inside you once more, thanks to a program that others have called “the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.”
And it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, or experienced, haven’t made art in decades, or are already too busy to take on something else…
Once you join me in what I’m about to show you, I promise you’ll have major breakthroughs in your journey as an artist. Even if you don’t think you’re an artist at all.
How do I know?
Because, after years of making art, writing best-selling art books, and teaching thousands of other artists from 6 to 90….
I’m going to give you access to all of it.
And I mean, all of it.
Now, in case we haven’t met before, I’m Danny Gregory.
And, if you look at my “portfolio” and all I’ve done, you might say, sure, I’m one of the lucky ones, born with special talent, “a natural…”
But, let me tell you: I’m not.
I’m no different than you.
In fact, I’ve been pretty unlucky. LIFE has taken me to some very dark and scary places, and dealt me some pretty devastating blows…
And, my only way of making sense of it all was… through art.
Wonky, wobbly, authentic art — with a lowercase “a.”
It has changed and enriched my life. And it can do the same for you.
So…
If you have a hole in your heart that needs filling…
If you have a wound that needs healing…
Or, if you’ve had it all right, and still wonder “how can I experience life more fully?”
Let me tell you:
art is the way.
I’ve been drawing for more than twenty years, but I don’t sell my art in galleries…
Instead, I have something a million times more valuable:
I have a habit that has brought deep and constant happiness in my life.
Now… this is where it gets exciting for YOU!
You see, over the years, I’ve worked with dozens and dozens of amazing artists to film over a thousand lessons in how to draw, paint and create. Courses that have helped 50,000 artists — beginners, experienced, “rusty,” busy — get more joy out of their hobby, their profession, their passion, and out of their life in general.
And now, you can find out how to get…
24/7 access to the FULL course library.
I mean our whole library of courses…
More than 1,000 lessons!
From Mixed Media Journaling to Urban Sketching to Colored Pencils, you’ll get access to all our best courses, plus new releases…
And for a fraction of the cost!
Not only that, but you’ll get special content never seen before to encourage and inspire your creative habit. Prompts, curated recommendations, even a monthly multimedia magazine.
And access to a private social network just for members of Spark to gather and share.
And most revolutionary of all, you’ll join live online sessions where artists from around the world get together to learn and create together. Several times a week, live, video meetups you can access anywhere.
There’s lots more to tell you about below. Lots! including one-one on coaching to take you step-by-step to exactly where you’ve always dreamt of going creatively.
So what is this exactly, and how will it work?
It’s called SPARK!
And it is a membership program — or rather THE membership program — for artists.
It has different plans, each designed to match the level of needs and commitment that you may have, and that meets you where you’re at in your creative journey.
It doesn’t replace our courses. Everything will still be available for purchase individually for non-members.
"I joined for access to courses, but Spark is a whole world of online events and support. I'm able to call myself an artist rather than just some guy who happens to draw."
Ken Harris, Milwaukee, WI

Spark membership will feel like a complete creative transformation.
That’s how one student put it, and honestly…I don’t disagree.
Transformation is actually a fitting word for:
Discovering your inner artist. Not faking it. Actually becoming one. You’ll be able to access flow states at will, and you’ll be thinking, feeling, and SEEING the world as an artist.
Building the creative habits you’re missing…. No more second-guessing, or waiting for someone to give you permission. Even if you’re new, or busy, you’ll have the inner tools to just create, like never before.
Simply getting more joy out of life. Taking “boring” days, or fears, or just your reflection in the mirror, and turning it into healing, relaxing, energizing creations through simple tools.
Sketchbook Skool opened my eyes to a daily habit. The community of artists that it has brought together is a wellspring of creative energy that I can’t help but want to be a part of.”

FAQ
“I didn’t think I could ever draw. But after taking a beginner course at Sketchbook Skool, I was proven wrong: I could draw! And it was tons of fun. Two years and several courses later, my drawing is (almost) a daily habit” — Kym Silvasy-Neale, Melbourne, FL
“The best part of SketchBook Skool is the philosophy behind its courses. SBS doesn’t subscribe to a particular way to do anything, but encourages us to honor and bring out our unique styles. Courses are not paint-by-numbers. Different artists show how they do their work, leaving you to pick, choose, and alter what works for you.” — Mindy Pines
“I found myself increasingly wanting to make art but didn’t know where to begin after a gap of over 35 years. I’d just started drawing again so I decided to take a course and jumped in with Be an iPad Artist. I’m now also doing Mixed Media Journaling. I love both and feel at 59 that I’m on a new adventure, all thanks to SBS!” – Marion
“Sketchbook Skool helped me get over my fear of being judged. It helped me take a deep breath and just do it.” – Susan Macleod, Hallifax, Canada
“Sketchbook Skool was a revelation. The variety of materials and approaches showed me that there is no one way to make art –it’s about finding what works for me. I’ve taken ideas from each instructor and gained skill and confidence with every assignment. And I’m part of a wonderful community.” — Corrine McNamara, Pasadena, CA
“I’ve tried sketching so many times but became impatient and unhappy with my end result. SketchBook Skool gave me great tools and more importantly, great advice.” — Jacqueline Meyers, Toronto, Canada
