About Little Adventures

Little Adventures are start-to-finish illustration courses designed to be doable, repeatable, and full of small wins. Every adventure follows four simple steps — study, prepare, practice, and imagine — that make creating feel manageable and fun. You'll study your inspiration, prepare your supplies, practice with project breakdowns, and then imagine your finished illustration into something wonderfully your own. It's how I work in my own studio, one small steady step at a time.

Imagine the Possibilities

Somewhere in your pocket, on a windowsill, or tucked into a dish on your desk, there's a tiny thing with a story — a shell, a feather, a seed pod, a smooth stone carried home without quite knowing why. In Pocketstories, that quiet treasure becomes the heart of a beautifully painted folk-art illustration, surrounded by soft florals, gentle symmetry, and layered washes that give it a world to rest in. You'll work with simple brush shapes and repeating motifs to build a frame that feels both collected and quietly magical — a painted keepsake made entirely from curiosity and a handful of watercolor.

Unlock a New Skill

With a background in graphic design and fine art, I create illustrations that tell hidden stories. What sets Pocketstories apart is the practice of brush-only painting — building the entire illustration without pencil lines, using the brush itself to find the shapes. You'll learn to paint repeating folk-art motifs with confidence, developing the kind of muscle memory that makes symmetrical floral borders feel natural rather than fussy. The real skill here is learning to let your object breathe — how to build a frame around a tiny treasure that honors it without overwhelming it, using soft layered washes and gentle pattern to make the whole piece feel like something that was always meant to be together.

Build Your Craft

Pocketstories is built so that every brushstroke feels familiar before you ask it to do something decorative. You'll start with the smaller pieces — individual folk motifs practiced on their own, color combinations tested in isolation, symmetry explored before it has to hold a composition together. Step-by-step video instruction moves alongside DIY practice at every stage, so there's always a place to try things out before committing to the final piece. By the time you arrive at the full illustration, the flowers, the frame, and the found object all feel like they belong to each other — and to you. That slow, pleasurably methodical layering is what builds the kind of quiet confidence creating a depth that shorter classes simply can't match.

What You Get

Inside Pocketstories you'll find one beautifully designed downloadable PDF packet with everything from start to finish — supply lists, color notes, project breakdown practice pages, printable line art and reference illustrations, and all the motif and composition guidance you need to build your folk-art frame with confidence. Add to that full-length video instruction at a clear, steady pace, plus a final start-to-finish project that brings your found treasure and its painted world together. Everything is yours to download and keep, ready to print and return to as many times as you like.
