About Toby:

“My name is Toby, and I’m an ink and watercolour artist with a loose and spontaneous style

After years of struggling to ‘find my style’ I recognise the struggles we all have in too much self-criticism, worrying about the outcome, and forgetting just to enjoy ourselves.

That’s why I started SketchLoose – to help people gain skills, confidence and rediscover how to truly enjoy creating.”
