Travel Sketchbook - in Pencil, Ink, and Watercolor
Kathleen Moore
$430
A Travel Sketchbook records your adventures in a more personal and memorable way than just photos can. During the cold, rainy season, relive your adventures as you sketch from your travel photos in pencil, ink, and watercolor!
In this online course, I’ll show you how to jump into travel sketching (from photos or on the road) even if you’ve never sketched before!
You will build your sketching skills through weekly, self-paced study of instructional videos and materials. You will also be given assignments to keep you sketching and practicing what you learn. Then, each week, we will come together as a class, on Zoom, for instructor-led critiques and Q&A.
We’ll cover landscapes, cityscapes, interiors, food, and people – all the wonderful experiences of traveling you want to remember forever!

• Watercolor sketchbook, such as Pentalic Aqua Journal
• Graphite pencils - your choice - drawing pencils, mechanical pencils, or a No. 2 school pencil
