The Travel Sketch
Believe it or not, sketching isn’t about talent! It’s about seeing!
Workshops or Classes - I’ll show you how we observe what’s in front of us, by looking and observing our subject,
and getting those shapes into our sketchbooks.
No pencils to start, just a black pen and a willingness to ‘let go’ and put lines on a page.
You’ll soon see it coming together in your own style (yes you have one.)
We sketch outside on location and not from photos or reference.
It’s about having fun and enjoying whatever ends up on your page. Wibbly wobbly is fine.
I’ll be demonstrating every step of the way.
