Art Journaling: Sketching, Watercolor & Composition with Jane LaFazio (Online)

Apr 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 & May 7, 2021

The classroom opens on March 28 and the first lesson is released on April 2. The classroom will disappear on June 4. 

This class is geared for levels beginner to intermediate. Six lessons over six weeks, with each lesson a new challenge. Robust videos will show you the step-by-step process of drawing and painting in watercolor. Jane will also cover composition, collage, and page balance. In class, we'll try some different drawing tools, like charcoal, dip pen, and water-soluble pencil. Two of the lessons are 'on location.' One in your own home and the other outside en Plein air.

Each week you'll receive an email with a link to the new lesson, with a different subject or technique. The lessons are available 24/7 and you'll receive a downloadable step-by-step pdf to work from each week. There are robust and detailed videos and examples from Jane's sketchbook to support the lessons. Just like in a real classroom, you'll be able to see fellow students' sketchbook pages and will be able to comment and praise their work and they'll be able to see your pages too (as long as you post them!) And you'll get honest and gentle critiques on all your work from Jane.

Lesson ONE: Collage & Composition
Lesson TWO: Intuitive Composition
Lesson THREE: Loosen up
Lesson FOUR: On location ~ At home
Lesson FIVE: On location ~ Landscape
Lesson SIX: Mixing Media

You'll receive the complete list of materials (with links and descriptions) when you sign up, but basically, you'll need a 9x12 inch watercolor sketchbook, watercolors, a watercolor brush, and a permanent ink pen, and few other drawing tools. Don't buy the stuff until you get the actual materials list
