 Sketching & Watercolor in a Mixed Media Journal  Layered Journal Page |
Sketching & Watercolor in a Mixed Media Journal July 9 & 10 There’s no substitute for learning to draw from real life objects, and that’s how we’ll start out. Jane will teach you her quick and intuitive method to drawing and watercolor. Each day, a new assignment/suggestion of what to draw, and a new mixed media technique to enhance your illustrated journal entries. Working in a 9” x12” (suggested size) journal, you’ll learn to depict a single object, and then look at it from different viewpoints to dissect it and create imaginative designs based on your realistic work. You’ll learn to create cool and sometimes meaningful backgrounds to enhance your drawings. You’ll be on your way to loving art journaling! Everyone has their own drawing style, just like handwriting, and Jane will help you to see and then record what you see on paper. This class welcomes beginners, and all levels. (Really, even if you haven’t drawn since 3rd grade, Jane can teach you!)
corrected Materials list: Strathmore Visual Journal 9” x 12” (either for mixed media or watercolor, your choice); watercolors of your choice in a travel-size palette; one Niji waterbrush (medium); permanent black ink pen—fine or super fine nib (Pitt Artist Pen); pencil; kneaded rubber eraser; water-soluble pen (Tombow dual brush pen, black or grey) lino-cutting tools, Speedball carving block, and black StazOn stamp pad (858) 454-5872 for registration or click here to register |
