The Fantastical Sketchbook Online Workshop
Adults & Teens
Maja Sereda

Mondays 1:30 – 4pm

August 17 – September 28 (No class on September 7 - Labor day)

6 week course

$210

Basic drawing skills required.

In this workshop, we’ll look at drawing fairies, sprites, fantastical creatures, landscapes and scenes. Strong focus will be on nature, plants, animals with a few human characters. For any illustrator, sketchbooks are essential. It’s where ideas are born, where imagination is ignited, where skills are developed, it’s where the magic happens! It’s a playground for the creative soul. If you have a sketchbook practice already or are drawing but would love to explore new ideas, this course is for you! You’ll learn how to unlock your imagination through drawing prompts and inspirational tips, create your own characters and settings, learn about color and mood, brainstorm exciting compositions, explore different techniques, learn about illustrator’s methods, visual narratives and more!

HOW IT WORKS:

Online using Zoom.
(For more information about how to use Zoom, click here.)

Before the workshop begins, I will send out a ZOOM invite. Each week we’ll tackle a new theme/topic. Before each class I’ll email you images and inspiration. During class I will show you a short presentation on illustration concepts/principles; a video on how to create that day’s exercise and then we sit and draw together. You are welcome to email me images of artwork and/or show everyone during class.

WHAT YOU NEED:

A sketchbook or two (wet media would be ideal), graphite pencil, few color pencils for sketching, pen(s) - brush pen is always fun, watercolors or gouache, eraser, sharpener, ruler, tracing paper or think bond paper for sketching. Optional: scissors and glue.

BONUS:

By signing up for any of my classes, you are invited to a private Facebook community where you can find more inspiration, more instructional videos as well as art feedback and support. This is a safe space, only for my students, for sharing and feedback. Also, FREE open studio on Tuesday evenings. Email invites sent out at the beginning of every month.
