Whatever your skill level, novice to experienced, there is always something new to explore in sketching. Whether it’s different techniques, materials or subject matter; the journey to learn and improve is endless. The key is to embrace the joy of experimentation without the pressure of comparison or high expectations. Join Katy as she guides you through a variety of engaging exercises both in the classroom and on location.
Note: Bring a bit of cash to purchase a beverage when we sketch on location, and a sack lunch for our classroom lunch break.
