Sketching is Fine with Continuous Lines with Isabel Santos
Saturday November 22
1-4pm

This workshop is about sketching directly with ink without lifting your pen from the paper. It is a fun drawing practice that challenges hand and eye coordination where a wonky drawing is acceptable. We will fill our accordion sketchbook by sketching the rows of wonderful shops at the Junction.

Materials To Bring:

• Sketchbook accordion (concertina) or folded loose sheet of watercolour paper (cold pressed) at least 300 gsm / 140lb
• IMPORTANT - a support board for the accordion format sketchbook
• Binder clips to hold the sketchbook together
• Fine liners or fountainpen with permanent ink
• Watercolours, any existing palette will do (blues, reds, yellows)
• Waterbrush or travel brush (round size 6 or 8 with a pointed tip)
• A small jar filled with water for painting
• Paper towels
• Portable stool for sketching outdoors
• Sun block, hat, sun glasses,  water for hydration
