Sketching Norway: Travel Sketching Sea, Mountains and Houses with Mixed Media

Unlock your creative potential with this mixed media sketching class! Feeling stuck on what to draw or worried about making mistakes with watercolor? Learn to embrace the freedom of mixed media and create more relaxed, playful sketches.

This class guides you through a process of sketching and painting, combining the fluidity of watercolor with the vibrancy of color pencil for added depth and visual interest. Discover how to confidently layer different mediums, including graphite pencil and watercolor pencils, to achieve a harmonious and emotionally resonant final piece.

We'll explore how to divide your page into vignettes to tell a compelling story about your subject – a technique I call "seeing the world one sketch at a time." Through two comprehensive demonstrations, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to:

• Work loosely to capture the essence of your subject.
• Choose what to detail and what to leave open to interpretation.
• Select compelling subjects and learn how to effectively omit elements.
• Observe and focus on shapes to bring your sketches to life with vibrant color washes.
• Let go of expectations and embrace the joy of creative exploration.

I'll share all the materials I use, including specific watercolor paints and color pencils, so you can replicate my techniques. I'll even show you how to "move mountains" with layering!
