Artists have long kept sketchbooks for everything from idea development to traveling diary. In this class we will explore the sketchbook as a tool for freehand perspective, anatomy, animal sketching, figure invention, landscape studies and more. We will learn to freehand sketch with ballpoint pen, graphite, ink and ink wash as well as a bit of gouache. We will spend several weeks on specific disciplines and subjects as described above. This class is great for all levels. Instructor demonstrations and critiques are standard.

  • any sketchbook, some regular copy paper, and some pens and pencils
