Dominique Joly Art

I'm an artist sharing my portraits, sketchbook tours, and the systems that support my creative life.

Hi! I’m Dominique — a Quebec‑born, Ontario‑based Canadian artist sharing my journey as I build a creative life with intention and structure. This channel features sketchbook tours, portrait studies in watercolour, ink, and ballpoint pen, urban sketching videos, and behind‑the‑scenes art processes. 

I also share practical workflows, organization tips, and honest insights from my transition from a 20-plus‑year federal public service career to becoming a full‑time visual artist. 

If you’re looking for thoughtful art content, beginner‑friendly portrait techniques, creative routines, and sustainable art‑practice ideas, you’ll feel right at home here.
