Time to Sketch   

Have you ever wanted to sketch what you observe? Simply put pen to paper and capture an image that grabbed your attention? Or perhaps simply love sketching, and wish to get better. These days, we find ourselves at a perfect junction to learn new things and indulge our interests. If any of this applies to you, this course is for you. It focuses on the art of sketching - whether it be from observation or photo reference – to learn and/or improve basic sketching skills. Each class will be divided into a short lecture, followed by a demo and exercise.

No art experience is required, other than desire to learn. This class does not have a set supply list. Items below are basic suggestions, and you can use/bring whatever appeals to you most.

a. drawing surface - newsprint paper or drawing paper work - Bristol, watercolor paper, mixed media will all work
b. drawing supplies - pencil or graphite, charcoal, marker or ink pen - all can come handy and useful
c. watercolors or color markers, color pencils will also work fine in helping flush out color scheme ideas
d. ink can be a great tool to get started - India, Sumi or simply ink pen
