Morro Bay Art Association is proud to present a 6-week sketchbook workshop with artist Sarah A. Pletts. In this course students will learn the art of filling a large sketchbook with images and writing. Dreams, photographs, ideas, and more will be part of the creative process. We will work from prompts (optional) sent out before we start and as we go. Every Monday 12:30pm to 2:30pm from March 4 through April 8.
Connect with other artists and practice filling a Sketchbook. This workshop is designed for beginners and appropriate for intermediate artists. Bring your choice you medium to class. The following work well for working in sketchbook: colored pencils, watercolors, crayons, pastels or craypas as we create in color.
