Fall Color - Watercolor Sketchbook
360 Online Class | This program is completed
Immerse yourself in the glorious hues of autumn! Build your sketchbooking skills of quickly and expressively capturing your environment in graphite, ink, and watercolor! In this online course you will build your sketchbook practice through weekly, self-paced study of instructional videos and materials, as well as using prompts to develop the habit of daily sketching. Then, each week, we will come together as a class, over Zoom, for instructor-led critiques and Q&A. Sketching prompts include fallen leaves, colorful trees, puddles, etc.
No class on November 10th.
