JustGoSketching was born from the need to sketch without fear or fuss.

Created by a full-time artist in Cornwall, our handmade tools are designed to be held in one hand and used anywhere — helping artists sketch freely, even in busy or unfamiliar places.

JustGoSketching was developed from my decades of experience as a full-time artist and a very real challenge: sketching in public.

Like many artists, I found it difficult to sketch confidently in crowds — especially when you need to set up quickly and pack everything away at a moment’s notice. That friction often became a barrier to sketching at all. I wanted a way to work that felt simple, discreet, and instinctive.

So I designed the JustGoSketching Companion — a sketching system that allows all your essential tools to be held comfortably in one hand, ready to be picked up and put down instantly, without removing or rearranging anything. It was designed to remove obstacles, not add them.

From there, JustGoSketching grew.
