Ever dreamt of starting a sketch journal but just don’t have the time? If you answered “Yes!”, then you’re in the right place!

In this class, I will show you how to keep a beautiful sketch journal with limited time on your hands. You’ll learn how easy it is to document daily memories and practice your art without falling out of practice.

To do that, we will go over:

• Materials: nothing fancy
• Why sketch journaling?
• Defining a Topic: no more asking “what should I draw?”
• Using a Layout: what goes where
• Drawing & Painting: my process and useful tips
• Typography: how to add and stylize your text

I will break down each of these steps, so you’ll be able to apply the skills you’re learning by working on your class project along the way.

Sketch journaling could be for anyone who wants to start a hobby, practice drawing, painting and documenting daily life. You don’t need to have a drawing or painting background to take this class but it would help. =)

With this class, you’ll be able to keep your memories in a stylish and timeless way.

You’ll know how to:

• plan a page
• use the little time you have
• use watercolors and your text to make a beautiful sketch journal composition

You will need a watercolor sketchbook, a pencil, an eraser, a waterproof pen, watercolor paints, one or two brushes, some water containers, water, and paper towel.
