Welcome to the Outdoor Sketchbook!

My name is Orla, and I am an artist & illustrator. I love to paint how places and everyday moments make me feel.

You’ve landed at my blog; a space for writing that reflects on creativity, nature connection and that celebrates everyday adventures and moments of wonder in the little things. I also distill creative tips & tricks from my youtube channel into note form to help you get outdoors creating, and lean into creative play!

If you enjoy this space and are looking to be part of a gentle community, attend a workshop or explore tutorials: I’d love to invite you to visit The Outdoor Sketchbook Collective over on on Patreon, and join the conversation there.

See you Outside!

Orla
