Living on the Oregon Coast has made me a seeker of adventure and inspiration. From the mountains, to the sea, to the quaint coastal communities- the area offers some amazing inspiration. In my this one day class we will combine sketching and exploration. We will sketch our way around my hometown of Seaside, Oregon. I will take you to some of my favorite places and secret spots all while learning and sketching on the go! I will discuss and demonstrate simple techniques for sketching and keeping a visual journal. We will absorb the colors, materials, and treasures of the area and document them in our sketchbooks. Drawing and art journaling is such an important part of my creative life- it provides the opportunity for practice, growth, inspiration and escape and I can't wait to share my passion with you!
