Sketchbook Class at the Ink Pad

Last week I taught two classes at The Ink Pad in NYC.  I always enjoy teaching there.  It's a great shop and the students are wonderful.  Classes are always a mixture of local New York/New Jersians plus out-of-towners who love to come to NYC for a visit.  My farthest student traveled from Dubai!  Pretty impressive!

Today, I wanted to share photos from my "Sketchbook: Yes, You Can Draw" class.  The title kind of says it all.  Students always walk in thinking that they can't draw and leave with a road map for easy sketchbook practice.
