A monthlong ink sketching adventure beginning January 11th, 2024. 

Last year I made an ink sketch every day for 100 days. I wanted to improve my drawing and sketching accuracy, speed, and confidence, and enjoy the fun and challenge of a daily practice. I gave myself simple tools and time limits, and for the first time, I actually stuck with it. And at the end of those 100 days I was amazed to feel and see how much better I was at rendering landscapes both in ink, and as the foundation for painting, too! 

This class will re-create this experience for 30 days with a combination of step-by-step lessons, daily sketching prompts, and a supportive community. 

This class is FREE for current Adventure Art Academy students ($27/ month). If you sign up, you get access to this workshop along with a new monthly landscape adventure video lesson filmed outside (plus the 30+ classes already released, and you can cancel anytime). Learn more and register here. Your welcome email will have the free access code (or you can email me, too!)

Current students- email me for the free discount code!

How it works:

We will meet on Zoom each Thursday for a month, where I will share techniques and a step-by-step sketching lesson. In-between our live sessions, you have the option of practicing each day with your own images or with a folder of curated photos for a different landscape theme each week. 

And, if sharing in a community is helpful for you, we have the option of posting our work in my online non-Facebook space called Basecamp.

I want this class to be fun and supportive, so there is no right or wrong way to engage with the classes. There is no requirement to practice every day, and you can choose however much you want to engage or share work. 

Some of the skills we will cover include:

•  How to simplify a complex landscape into a series of minimal lines
• Using black and white shapes to explore value (the range of light and dark in a painting)
• Creating realistic and organic patterns for a variety of landscapes from mountains to coastlines
• Exploring simple shading techniques to add depth to a landscape

When you register you will get a confirmation email that includes the materials list. Zoom links will be sent out closer to the class date!
