Book a Sketch Walk

Hi, I’m Anna.

My mission in life is to spread the joy of drawing and painting.

You don't need to be "good" at art for it to change how you see the world. I love a messy table, an imperfect portrait, and everlasting bunches of flowers - art should make you feel something.

Through original art, online courses, sketch walks, and art holidays, I want to help you slow down, look closer, and actually live in the moment you're in. Art isn't about being good - it's about seeing the world through the eyes of an artist. Quite simply, it makes your life richer and juicier.

Ready to start? My signature course, Shiny Happy Drawing, is the perfect place to begin. And with over 100 courses in drawing, watercolour, and acrylics, there's something here for wherever you are on your journey.

“I adore my Anna Battle painting. It’s front and centre in my lounge room and makes me smile every single day. We even bought a new lounge to show it off!”

I just finished all of the 24 monthly Paint Alongs. My favourites were ‘The Shopping List’ and ‘Natalie the Koala’. I did enjoy all of them though. You’re a terrific teacher, Anna. I had COVID and I appreciated having your online lessons. They saved my saniy.

I have just astounded myself! This actually looks like a bird! Thank you Anna Battle for your clear instructions. I’ll be walking around with a big smie on my face for the next hour or so!
