November Sketchbook Class

We are wrapping up our sketchbook Thursdays with this final sketchbook class of the year. We have come such a long way with the sketchbooks and it will be great to see them. You are invited along either to bring your sketchbook or even to start a new one. We will be continuing the sketchbook theme into 2026.

November Sketchbook class (Thursday morning 27 November 9.30-12 see weekly newsletter for full details)

The theme is; Snowy scenes and winter

Think about how you can create snow, using materials e.g. white acrylic over dark backgrounds, perhaps a collage depicting a scene in winter

Research: check out the internet, YouTube (type in artist sketchbooks for an overview of what they are), your own photos, previous sketches and drawings you may have done and want to develop, bring all the images you need along with you focusing on this reflective time of winter.

Links for ideas in the Public domain (usage permitted without copyright restrictions) : www.pixabay.com type in, winter, snow etc and then search photos, illustrations and see what comes up

You can also try www.rawpixel.com which has even more of the above

Feel free to bring drawing, painting, collage, photos and anything else you need. The session is a 'self-directed' morning with help from myself but also you will be encouraged to chat to others about their ideas and sketchbooks to give inspiration.

Check out previous blog posts here (see the bottom) to see what other themes we have been doing.

Want to come along? Let me know by emailing me at info@skyblueartclasses.co.uk or let me know at class or via the Thursday weekly newsletter.

Here's a little glimpse into just a few sketchbooks showing how we progressed! Hope you can make it
