About this Event
Capture Your Travels Through Sketching!
Forget endless photos—why not document your adventures with sketches instead? In our very first workshop at Point Creative Supplies, world-renowned artist Paul Heaston will teach you the fundamentals of urban sketching and how to create a personal, one-of-a-kind travel journal. With Paul's expert guidance, you'll gain the skills to turn each sketch into a meaningful memory, capturing the world around you in a fresh and artistic way.
This half-day workshop kicks off with a dynamic, one-hour classroom session featuring expert instruction, live demonstrations, and a show-and-tell of Paul’s incredible sketchbooks. Then, take your sketchbook outside for two hours of hands-on, in-the-field sketching. Afterward, return to the shop to share your work, receive personalized feedback, and pick up even more pro tips from Paul. It’s the perfect mix of learning, practice, and inspiration!
