Hi! I’m Susan, your host for this course. 


Let’s get to know each other a little better. I’ll start by introducing myself and then I’d like to know a little bit about you too.

My name is Susan Yeates and I am an artist, author, tutor and creative entrepreneur. I am passionate about creativity and staying inspired for making art. 

I love inspiring others to make art and to try new things - which is why I have created this short course on exploring with colour! I love colour and using it in my art but it is also just so wonderful to explore colour for the sake of it.

I have written two books on linocutting including Amazon no. 1 bestsellers, Learning Linocut (2011) and A Beginner’s Guide to Linocut (2019, Search Press.) 

In 2018 I launched the annual 30 Day Sketchbook Challenge which begins on 01 January each year. I love getting new people interested in art, sketching and creativity. 

As well as creating my own drawings and prints I love educating and sharing my knowledge - I have a number of e-courses tutoring beginners to drawing, sketching and printmaking. These include Sketching for Fun and Mindful Drawing and Doodling for Beginners. 

I am also a busy mama, a pottery cafe owner (Fired Frog Pottery Cafe in Woking) and reading addict.

In December 2019 I delivered a TedX talk at the WWF Living Planet Centre here in Woking entitled “Create Your Mandala Universe - Collaborate for a Beautiful Life.” This talk is all about collaboration and connection for mums in business and also includes some of my mandala drawings.

I do hope you enjoy this special colour course with me. 

I also have a range of online sketching and printmaking courses as part of my online art school.
