Here’s a bit more about the class:
Thumbnail sketches are tiny sketches, maybe only a couple inches tall, that you can draw in just a minute or two.
Art students learn how to do this as a way of working up some ideas for larger paintings.
But they’re also a great way to very quickly capture your travels when you’re on the move. This is especially helpful when you’re traveling with a group, and they don’t want to wait while you settle down to draw for an hour or two!
In this class, I’ll show you how to fill a sketchbook with lively, interesting thumbnails, filled with personality.
- Design: I’ll give you a template for designing a page layout
- Drawing: Discover how quickly you can draw a basic scene in just a minute or two.
- Watercolor: Use an ultralight watercolor kit to add a few brushstrokes.
- Writing: Add some lettering, captions, or notes to make your pages more personal.
- Collage: Work in stickers, maps, ticket stubs, and more.
The result will be a rich and varied tapestry of images that truly took only a few minute per sketch! This class is perfect for urban sketching, travel sketching, nature journaling, and anyone keeping a visual diary or illustrated journal.
If you’re a beginner, this class is a great place to start. For more experienced artists, this class is a fun way to loosen up and try a different approach to travel sketching.
