About This Workshop
About This Workshop
sketch your life: Sylvia, student project
I have done a month of daily sketching and painting before and I have learned so much more than when I sketch or paint sporadically. There is value in doing something daily and often that helps us to discover, remember and learn better. This workshop is for everyone yearning to put into practice what they have learned about sketching and painting from life using pen and watercolor. I hope to encourage you to sketch daily and appreciate life in a new way!
Purpose
- Cultivate a daily habit of sketching what you see
- Learn how to observe, feel and ask open questions on the things around you
- Savor and remember the detail and presence of the life around you
- Get to know the story of one another
You will receive
- Daily prompts to be sent to you about our everyday lives that will inspire you to pause, take notice and sketch.
- Guide and feedback from me
Prizes!
One top student who responds to the daily prompts, sketches daily (with few or no missed days) and provide meaningful feedback to fellow students will receive:
- A year of Skillshare Premium Membership
- A custom watercolor painting of your favorite place
- A series of hand painted papers for your letter writing
Two or more top students who sketch often and provide helpful feedback to students will receive:
- A personalize hand painted bookmark
- A hand painted greeting card

- Feel free to post any questions in the Discussions and I will respond as soon as I am able.
I hope you will join me in sketching daily (yes I'm sketching too!) and getting inspired by all our life stories in sketches and paints! See you all! :)

FAQ
1. Can I sketch using reference photos?
I encourage you to sketch from life as much as possible so that you can experience personal connection with the things that you see.
2. What if I missed one or more days?
It's okay to miss some days. If you have the time you can sketch from the theme where you left off or start on the new prompt of the day.
3. Do I need to enrol for the class in order to join the workshop?
The workshop is free for everyone but I recommend you to enrol in the class so that you can use the skills you learn to work on the project.
