Sketchbook Journal Workshop

Sketchbook Journal Workshop : September 2021

Join me for 30 days of ink-spirational sketchbook journaling .

Why Should I Keep a Sketch Journal?

Sketching for me is a way of recording a moment in time, the memory and feeling of place, and capturing an idea. I find that when I sketch in my journal, there is something magical that happens between the connection of my hand, brain, senses and heart. Sketching is about letting your soul drip out through the ink in your pen and ingraining a special moment in the sketchbook of your mind.

Keeping a sketchbook journal on a regular basis can help you to:

Practice and develop your sketching skills
Discover your own unique voice
Experience the world around you in new and wondrous ways.

The act of putting pen onto paper and creating loose style sketches is one way that I am able to capture the feelings of time, place, and emotions. Sketching is about letting your soul drip out through the ink in your pen and ingraining a special moment in the sketchbook of your mind.

I will be forever drawn to sketching. Yes. Pun...absolutely intended! :)
