When you travel, you can take photos – or you can carry a sketchbook and record what you see. This class will give you the confidence to sketch on the go. The work you create will result in a more lasting impression of what you see. We will use simple tools to record what we are seeing on paper. Colour will also be explored in this class to add some vibrance to your work. Watercolour paints, and coloured pencils will be used, as well as pens, fine line markers and a fountain pen. We will produce sketches in class so be prepared to work and have fun!
