Hello,
I'm Lisa, an artist, author and illustrator.
I write books, paint paintings, draw, doodle & host workshops.
This was me a million years ago at the beach, no doubt followed by an afternoon of colouring-in.
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.
We’re well over our 600th dOOdle so far and the feedback is lovely, 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’.
This is my new home for Creative dOOdling and I’m super excited to be here.
Follow along for weekly posts including my Mid-Week dOOdle sOOther & Sunday Postcard packed with inspiration, favourite things & goings on.
For paid subscribers there will be Weekly 90 minute online Creative dOOdling classes (3 live, 1 recorded per month). Weekly posts, subscriber-only posts & full archive including tool testers & interviews, guest workshops & new original artwork previews, so you’ll get first dibs on anything new I create in my studio.
It's just me here so I definitely won't be bombarding you with messages. Just sending out fun, often coloured-in, mind soothing doodle prompts & tips just for you.
Thank you very much for having a read! I love this new club, I might even do badges!
Hope to see you soon!
