A virtual holiday party activity that works for remote teams
Most remote holiday events are a video call with a quiz. This is a calm, creative virtual workshop for teams where everyone does the same thing at the same time — and ends up with something to show for it.
Nothing to ship
Paper, a pencil and an eraser are enough. No kits, no customs, no one left waiting for a parcel.
Nobody is left out
No alcohol, no dietary issues, no budget per head for delivery. Quieter colleagues join in easily.
Real beginners welcome
Built for people who “can't draw”. Everyone finishes a winter drawing they're surprised by.
Works across time zones
I schedule around your team. Widely spread teams can book two sessions.
How the 60-minute session works
The hour moves from a silly warm-up to a finished drawing, so nobody has time to feel self-conscious.
- 0–5 minWelcome and warm-upEveryone draws a mug without looking at the paper. It gets laughs and drops perfectionism.
- 5–15 minThree drawing tricksI show three beginner tricks live: start with simple shapes, build with light lines, add shading for depth.
- 15–45 minGuided sketchThe team draws one winter scene together, step by step, at the same pace.
- 45–55 minGalleryEveryone holds their drawing up to the camera and I name one thing I like in each. Bigger groups share photos in the chat.
- 55–60 minWrap-upTake-home tips and an optional team screenshot with all the drawings.
Each person needs
Plain paper, a pencil (HB or 2B) and an eraser. A black pen is optional.
Pick a theme when you book
- Cozy fireplace — a mantel, two stockings and a candle. Easiest for complete beginners.
- Snowy cabin — a glowing window and a snowy roof, in ink with a touch of colour.
- Winter bookshop — warm lit windows and a snowman, for teams who want a little more colour.
The samples above are my own sketches — the session uses simplified versions of these scenes.

Christmas team building — common questions
Do people need to know how to draw?
No. The session is built for complete beginners. Three simple drawing tricks at the start make a good drawing possible for everyone, and the warm-up is designed to make people laugh, not to test them.
How long is the session and how many people can join?
60 minutes. Up to 40 people can join one session. Groups under 20 get the most individual feedback; for bigger or very spread-out teams you can book two sessions.
What does each person need?
Plain paper, a pencil (HB or 2B) and an eraser. A black pen is optional. Nothing has to be bought or shipped, and I send a short supply list you can forward to the team.
Which platform do you use?
Google Meet by default, so nobody has to install anything. If your company prefers it, I can join your own Zoom or Microsoft Teams link instead.
Is it a drawing or a painting workshop?
It's a sketching session that works with just a pencil. Teams who want a little colour can pick the winter bookshop theme and add watercolour or coloured pencils at the end.
Our team is in different time zones. Will it work?
Yes. I suggest a time that works for most of the team. If people are spread too widely for one slot, you can book two repeat sessions at the package price each.
Do cameras have to be on?
Cameras on let me give feedback while people draw, but it isn't required. Anyone who prefers can share a photo of their drawing in the chat at the end.
How do we book and pay?
Send the booking form below or message me on WhatsApp. I'll confirm the date and time within a day. Payment is in US dollars by Wise or bank transfer before the session, and I can send an invoice for your company.
What if we need to reschedule?
Let me know at least 24 hours before the session and we'll find a new time.
