About this Event

Join Kristen Olson Stone in beautiful Palm Desert for a 6-day watercolor sketching workshop to learn the foundations of Travel Sketching for your own sketching adventures. This class is suitable for beginners through advanced artists.

You will spend 6 enjoyable Wednesdays learning the art of travel sketching in a relaxed, positive style as Kristen shows you step by step how to compose, sketch and paint! This workshop is designed to be a wonderful and relaxing experience for everyone, all positive and chocked full of instruction. Have a look at her sketches and you'll see that she has a fresh approach to sketching with wavy lines and playful colors. She will gladly help you develop your own sketching style!
