What are the Creative Tasks?
We start the workshop with a creative task designed to make your sketchbook more accessible and exciting. Tackling the fear of the blank page, giving you pre-prepared sketchbook pages ready to use. We then move on to exploring the properties of materials ... outside of the sketchbook. These experiments are created and used to further disrupt the blank page and help compose creative sketchbook pages.
Finding your visual voice...
We go on to produce pages that explore and help you diagnose your unique use of the visual elements. This exercise is designed to help you find your visual voice. Watch the ‘Introduction’ film where I explain this in more detail.

What will I gain?

Sketchbook.
You can use whichever sketchbook you have or that takes your fancy. I demonstrate using a square Pink Pig sketchbook that contains 150 gsm paper.
What materials do I need?
The good news is ... whatever materials you have to hand, dry or wet e.g. pencils, pens, ink, paint ... as the creative principles apply to all.
