Sketchbooking – lets grow your confidence!
Ever felt afraid of the blank page? Don’t know where to start? Lets free you up and grow your confidence!
Artists use sketchbooks as part of their ongoing practice. They use them as reference and to problem solve for larger, more refined pieces of work and to quickly record ideas in the moment. It’s likely you’ll find a sketchbook in the back pocket or bag of any decent creative!
However, don’t be thinking that a sketchbook is reserved for those making a living out of creating art! Keeping a sketchbook is something all of us can enjoy and is arguably the single most important, accessible, personal form of expression. Each blank page is an opportunity – it’s a place to record a daily experience, share an idea or reflect an emotion. Together we will conquer fears of ‘the blank page’ and ‘where do I start’.
We will
explore a range of different starting points including drawing from life, using photography and referencing the work of other artists and crafts people
discover different drawing and painting techniques, both conventional and non conventional
use a variety of wet and dry media such as charcoal, graphite, ink, acrylic paint, watercolour, gouache, soft pastel, oil pastel, and collage media
work with different tools and equipment, including making our own, to discover ways of recording in a sketchbook
help you find your voice, so that your sketchbook is unmistakably yours
This is a fast moving course designed to kickstart your creative sketchbook journey!
