Get Started with a Sketchbook Ionne McCauley Oct 9 & 10, 2026 10am - 3pm $220 Why keep a sketchbook? What would you put in it? How to start? What supplies are best? Could it be a travel journal? Or a daily journal? Or both? Pencil first? Ink first? Watercolour first? Play, discover, experiment, record. We will use pencil and/or pen and watercolour to explore the possibilities of sketchbooking in this class. Part of the class will cover the use of various art materials.
