Sketches tell a story of your surroundings and are unique experiences that cannot be repeated. In this class students will learn the tips, tools and techniques that many urban sketchers use. Students will leave inspired to carry a sketchbook wherever they go to record their daily life. This class is ideal for beginners and for seasoned artists that want to loosen up their art style
