How to start, Why journals

Tools provided for use in the workshop.

Saturday, June 1: 3-5pm
Sign-Up

If you have watercolor supplies you use now and want to bring them please do. Love to see what others are working with. I will bring several examples to give you an idea of how this process has changed my travels, my storytelling and my watercolor skills.
Please bring a pen you love ( your favorite ) and pencil.

This is watercolor at all levels. Just starting, that's great. Been painting a while, but have never done journaling or sketchnoting to build a story or remember a trip, this is a good place to start. Some people journal wildflowers, vegetables, city scapes, lighthouses. Pasta and recipe books. Think creatively.  

Plan on showing up a bit early, we kindly ask that each guest purchase at least one drink or maybe some tasty bites, this helps support the venue and gives artist a place to sketch. I have a friend who sketches his drinks and food in his art journals. 

Lead by Michael Haun ( Roodoodles.com). By clicking on tickets you will be directed to Roo's site for registration. Looking forward to a fun afternoon
