Open to all adults. A little previous art experience will be useful but is not essential. Creative Sketchbook is a drawing, painting and mixed media course. It would suit participants who enjoy experimenting with different materials and approaches. Sketchbooks are used widely as a reference tool by art students and artists alike and are used to explore and develop creative skills and ideas.

The project for this course is a Travel Sketchbook.  The course will teach participants how to use a sketchbook outdoors to record urban and rural landscapes, people, animals and objects. You will learn a range of approaches in different media and how to use a sketchbook confidently in a public environment and during travel journeys. Weather permitting we will draw outside for one or two sessions. All other sessions will take place in the studio. We will explore both drawing in proportion and capturing the gesture. Using line and wash in experimental and traditional ways. Recording a sense of place through mini compositions. Capturing people and animals quickly and placing them within a scene.
