Hello,

I'm Lisa, an artist, author and illustrator.
I write books, paint paintings, draw, doodle & host workshops.

I realised, having been drawing for well over 40 years that, aside from loving it as a career, it really makes me feel better too.

SO, I spend lots of my time these days doing just that. And in order to share the 'draw to feel good' feeling I started doing something about it.

I host workshops for folk all over the World, live from my drawing board via Zoom...

Creative dOOdling: the gloriously quirky guided drawing classes, where you'll find inspiration, exploration, mixed media, fun, birdsong and no pressure whatsoever.

It's creatively inspiring but also very relaxing too, a bit of time-out giving you a weekly 're-boot'.

And dOOdling is now available, here on Substack, as a subscription.

Subscribe for FREE to receive weekly posts including my Mid-Week dOOdle sOOther & Sunday Postcard with inspiration, favourite things & goings on.

Join my PAID subscription for a monthly 90 minute online Creative dOOdling class. You’ll also receive weekly posts, drawing prompts, draw alongs and doodle projects. Subscriber-only posts & full archive including new in-person workshops, launches & original artwork previews too.

We’re well over our 600th dOOdle so far and drawing seems to really help bring a bit of calm & clarity to the week, so why not come along and soothe your mind with guided drawing too!

“Another gorgeous time spent quietly doodling with an amazing tutor. Lisa Stickley is a total joy!” L. Asher, Hope & Elvis

“Your sessions have been a game changer” Lisa Pickford

“Thank you so much for your doodling classes, I absolutely love them and am looking forward to the autumn term!” Gaëlle Bertro

You can join anytime and are always welcome. Substack has the additional creative dOOdling community bit too, which allow us to chit chat, share and draw together. Like a show and tell of all things ‘pencil & paper’.

I’d love to draw with you. Hope to see you soon!
