A surprise date opened up at The Ink Pad here in NYC, and I was thrilled to jump on in with a new class!
Sketchbook: Yes, You Can Draw!
Everyone can draw. In this class we're going to leave behind the fear associated with drawing photo-realistically and embrace our own funky interpretations of the world around us. Keeping a sketchbook is a wonderful way to record your life, your travels, and the objects around you. Milton Glaser once said that you never really see something until you draw it. I agree! This class offers a laid back approach to launching your sketchbook practice!
I hope you'll join me on July 27 for a full day of drawing and painting fun. This has to be the smallest supply list I've ever put together for a class. No need to bring your rolling tote. You can carry it all in a ziploc bag!
Students Should Bring:
- sketchbook — I prefer a watercolor book, but anything will do
- mechanical pencil
- large eraser
- watercolor paints
- bristle brushes (small and medium round brushes are best)
- waterproof black pen — I like the Sakura Pigma Micron or Faber Castell Pitt Pens
- spray bottle of water
- jar or container for water
- a few objects from nature: shells, leaves, flowers, sticks, stones, etc.
- optional: rag or paper towel, apron, heat gun and extension cord
You can contact The Ink Pad (212·463·9876) to sign up!
Thanks for stopping by!

Seriously, you can draw that well and it’s not just faces.
Amazed me talking. I love this little scene and it should be in an illustrated book. Okay, enough kuddos for you today;-)

I live in Florida, but will be in NYC area on July 27. I can’t sketch but know that once I take your class I will be past my fear of putting pencil to paper. I have learned so much from your on-line classes and look forward to meeting you.
