This fast-paced workshop will get you jazzed up for starting, restarting, and maintaining a sketchbook. Pull out any book (a blank book, one with a few pages your started years ago, or even an old printed book that has no readers today), grab your supplies, and Lee will walk you through several exercises to get you going and keep you going.
Lee will talk about paper quality, desired outcome, daily practice, why anyone should keep an artist’s journal or a sketchbook, keeping and displaying sketchbooks, and sharing your work.
