The Art of Sketching

Whether you are an avid sketcher or new to the art, sketching allows you to record events such as a trip to a foreign land, a tour of a local garden, or a special occasion such as a birth or anniversary. Examine different types of sketches, such as, drawings, or quick paintings. Explore adding short captions, notes, parts of conversations, and observations to create a journal. Utilize sketches to plan an organic garden, create a preliminary drawing for a painting or portrait, or provide an outlet for discovering solutions to a variety of problems. Learn how to improve your observational skills while sketching with pen, pencil, or watercolor. You will have an opportunity to sketch outside. Bring supplies to the first class.
