The Joy of Sketching on Location Information
The Joy of Sketching on location is all about building a joyful, consistent outdoor sketchbook practice, where there is no fear of drawing what you see and messy mark-making is to be embraced.
How the course is structured
The course is split into 5 units delivered in a series of videos, pdfs and audio files.
I’ll introduce you to the art of sketchbooks and share creative layouts, alongside fun drawing exercises to get you going.
Throughout the course, I share practical tips and advice for growing in confidence and take you on 3 sketch walks around the Cornish coast.
There is also the opportunity to engage with others through the comments and share your pages for feedback and peer review.
