Peaceful Pebble Sketching Workshop

Materials and Information

This class is perfect for beginners as pebbles are REALLY easy to draw and paint! Not only that, but with careful observation and mindful sketching, the process of filling a sketchbook page is incredibly relaxing. Slowly, slowly you can build a truly beautiful page.

During this workshop you will learn gentle sketching and painting techniques with stunning results and I will talk you through the benefits of 'collective' sketchbooking. You will learn effective layout techniques for pages with just a few pebbles to a whole beach-like spread! As always I will share with you my cheats,  tricks and pebbley sketchbook pages to help inspire your own creations.

This is a fun, friendly and inclusive workshop for all abilities.
