No drawing skills are needed for this course - though patience with yourself as you learn is a big help. You'll learn how to see the shapes in objects around you and their relationships to each other - and not stress over perfection at the same time.

Vivian Mizuta –
There is more content here than any of the previous 11 courses I have taken from Sandy. She takes you from nowhere to being an addicted sketcher, covering all the essentials from pencil to ink to watercolor with minimal supplies. Highly recommend and anxiously awaiting any follow up sketching we can talk her into!
