PS Realizing I’m telling a story (my story) has added to my understanding of what/why I am playing with art.” – Sharry But the main thing is that I can see in my own sketch book how much I’ve ‘improved’–meaning how much more interesting my drawings are and how much more I like them. I know I will watch many modules from this class again to refresh my memory–there was really a lot to learn. I will have to practice all this, of course, to get more skilled but your enthusiasm and wonderful examples really help.

For the most part, the daily lessons are short.

I do think there is value in taking the lessons day-by-day.

All lessons are available to you immediately. You can use any sketchbook you want in class, but the first lesson is actually me teaching you how to make your own (it even has an envelope inside to hold collage fodder). We will be creating mixed media sketchbooks - I simply can’t resist adding collage and pens and all the fun stuff into my sketchbooks! We will draw indoors and outdoors - from life and from photos! I am going to share my tips on drawing as well as embracing your personal style. In this class, we are going to be focused on creating a visual diary habit. They tend to be filled with watercolor images and are often meant for public viewing.

Visual diaries which share a glimpse into the creator’s daily life or travels.They tend to be filled with scribbles, notes, color swatches, drawings, and aren’t usually meant for public viewing. Workbooks which are used as a place to explore ideas for later works of art.There are two major categories of sketchbooks in my experience.
