SKETCHBOOK SUMMER STARTS JUNE 14!

Sketchbook Summer - Zoom Class

Starts June 14, 2025

A lot of people think of sketching as drawing. And that you have to be able to draw realistically to create a sketch. But that’s not really true.  Sketching can be as simple as abstract shapes and color. You can create imaginary animals, plants and houses if you like. Sketching can include collage, lettering, stenciling, and just about anything you like.  The joy of working in a sketchbook is open to everyone - even if you are intimidated by the idea of “drawing.”  If you already know how to draw, you’ll have plenty of fun creating with some of the sketchbook prompts I have in store for you. So join me on Sketchbook Adventures. I promise you won’t have to learn to draw!
