The 2019 series Sketchbook offers online drawing lessons led by four passionate friends who share a deep creative bond. They strive to build that same special connection with their audience, catering to artists of all kinds—whether experienced or beginners, young or old.

The instructors — Harry, Luca, Raphaël, and Marine, who balances out the group — gather in a cozy studio each day to teach a new lesson. In one of the episodes, the team and their viewers take on the challenge of drawing a smile. Those who have been sketching for a long time might see this as a simple task, but true artists know that no detail is minor in art. Capturing a smile requires mastering various techniques, and by practicing them, viewers will achieve great results and elevate their skills.

Rather than a single film, Sketchbook is a series of short educational episodes. Each episode focuses on a specific subject to draw, with this particular installment centering on the smile. Viewers will learn to draw it under the guidance of Raphaël and his friends, who eagerly share the techniques they use themselves.

Audiences will discover how to create initial sketches, determine the right level of transparency, and mix watercolors—and that is just a fraction of what these passionate artists have to offer. After all, teaching fine art to beginners requires not just knowledge and skill, but also the right atmosphere. The series was produced by Museum TV, a media network specializing in programs about art, art history, museums, and galleries.
