We will learn about the use of visual icons in illustrated journaling and sketchbooking, and create four pages of small spot illustrations that are easy to draw and paint and are worth their weight in words. For your up-loadable project, you can choose to duplicate the pages as we create them, or choose from our spot illustrations to create a page about something in your life.

What You Will Learn and Do:

How to draw lots of things by learning to seeing their basic shapes - which are based on alphabet letters which we all know how to draw. This is my "A-B-See" method of teaching art and it has never failed a student yet. If you can draw the letter U, you can draw a mailbox, for example. It's all in how you are looking at it.

Techniques will include drawing in pencil, inking with fine liner, and painting with water soluble media like water soluble pencils and markers along with your watercolors.
