SKETCHING & WATERCOLOR LIVE ZOOM CLASS
Originally called Daily Sketch from when we met nearly EVERY DAY in 2020 & 2021!! Let’s keep our practice going!
Use the supplies you have on hand (sketchbook, pencil, & watercolors recommended), or find a list of my personal favorite tools below. We’ll draw & paint everyday objects, flora & fauna, portraits, and landscapes. Check my Instagram stories the day before class for our class theme/subject and a photo to use, or I will also share at start of class. You might bring your own inspiration, or use mine to follow along as I take you through my process.
All levels welcome (absolute beginners and pro’s alike). I’ll get us started with a short meditation, then warm-up’s, step-by-step technique suggestions describing my approach, and I’ll be available for any questions that come up. We’ll carve out this special time for ourselves to practice, and at the end of each 60 minute session we’ll share our work for feedback. Join us to connect with creativity, community, and color! xo Diva
My Supplies: Sketchbook (Travelogue Artist Watercolor Journal), mechanical pencil (Paper Mate #2), fine tip pen (Uni Jetstream .38 is my fave), watercolors (Schmincke - pricey but wonderful, or Winsor & Newton Cotman Sketchers Pocket Box for a good starter set), Pentel Aquash Water Brush size medium (or other round brush, synthetic size 6). Have a jar of water and paper towel on hand. I also use a ceramic mixing palette :)

En Plein Air Sketchbooking Workshop ~
Sketching & Watercolor IN PERSON Workshop!
A monthly offering where I’ll take you to some of my favorite outdoor places in the Bay Area. Let’s fill up our sketchbooks together! We’ll sketch and paint from nature— flora, fauna, & landscape, building on our Zoom sessions and expanding to new styles and subjects. I’ll talk you through my approach, giving exercises & technique suggestions, but most of all the support to practice, explore and play (the keystones to any creative practice)! We’ll finish with sharing and discussing our work, all in a beautiful setting. Bring something to sit on the ground if needed. I’ll email you a list of supplies to have on hand for class (including my latest favorites for on-the-go sketchbooking). Absolute beginners and seasoned artists welcome, color and nature therapy for all!
