Travel Sketching
PD-Class | FULL
Exploring the world becomes even more thrilling if you carry a sketchbook. Artists travel at a different pace than most tourists, taking the time to sketch and truly look at the places they visit. This class will cover principles of composition, perspective, and basic use of line and watercolor to quickly put travel memories on the page. Travel sketching has become a hip, analog way to discover the world.
