The Open Sketchbook

Looking to build or refine your sketchbook practice? Join us Monday evenings from 7-9:30pm (NYC Time!) over Zoom for eight weeks, 1/27 - 3/17, and work towards filling a sketchbook with me!

For this round (our 9th!), we'll revisit a past favorite and use dichotomies to elevate our sketching practice! By exploring opposites like "sparce vs dense", "soft vs hard", or "simplicity vs complexity", we'll deepen our understanding of art history, refine and explore techniques, and bring greater clarity to the formal qualities of our drawings. This a perfect way to reengage with our sketching practice for the New Year!

Sketchbooks are all about studying, exploring, playing, and making art for ourselves (no deadlines for shows or commissions here!) Building a personalized sketchbook practice takes time, and throughout this online course (and with the support of our peers), we'll work towards filling up a sketchbook and do just that! This course has been designed to allow for a ton of breathability- sketchbooks are a personal thing, and you're welcome to take the material in whatever way you'd like- as such, this online course is suitable for anybody interested, regardless of their level of experience. You're welcome to pick up a new sketchbook for the course or work in one you already have!
