Read MoreI've been keen to do another Melbourne Sketch Workshop for sometime, as those I've done previously have been very warmly received, and Alissa has given me a wonderful chance to do so.
Join me if you're keen to simplify your sketches and see the easy shapes we look for. We will be around inner Melbourne and sketch as though we are travelling, making quick notes and discoveries as we go.
Everybody welcome.

There across the road was the very inviting Fairmont Copley Hotel.
A very successful Travel Sketching Workshop today at Harry Hartog Booksellers Warringah Mall. It’s lovely to see people who have not sketched before, create their first impression and totally surprise themselves.
Read MoreAnother glorious Sydney winter day for our July Taste of Sketching Workshop. This month the beach was our theme and wow did our sketchers embrace that.
