Ready to get serious about keeping a drawing journal? Instructor Tim Svenonius has maintained a sketchbook practice for nearly twenty years and regards it as the bedrock of his creative process. In this workshop, Tim shares the practices and principles that help tap into a creative flow and maintain a steady drawing habit. He will show examples from his extensive sketchbook archive to demonstrate these principles at work, and will lead a series of drawing exercises that touch on key concepts. Students will be expected to draw every day in the week between the two class meetings.
Materials to Bring:

Past Student Reviews:
“The concept of having rules for using a sketchbook was an eye-opener. Tim’s delivery is engaging and his sketches are fascinating.”
“It was a really thoughtful workshop guided by deep experience and appreciation for the craft."
“It was inspiring to see Tim’s visual lexicon and hear about his process & how it developed over time. Also his clever development of self-imposed rules revealed how committed he is to his work. Very thought-provoking and visually stunning couple of hours.”
