Sketching can be storytelling; a narrative of where you are, your travels, your daily life. 

Combining text with your drawings is a lovely way to fill a sketchbook!  

This short workshop has some tips and ideas for creating beautiful journal pages.  For this example I have chosen an insect (did you know that the noise from cicadas can reach 90 decibels?!) - but you don't have to use an insect for your journal page - you can apply these techniques to any subject you like!

Previous sketching experience is not essential. With photos and guides we will work through every stage one section at a time.  I recommend a simple sketch kit - the items I am using include

• a sketchbook with paper suitable for watercolour 160gsm+
• a pencil & eraser
• a pen with waterproof ink
• a basic set of watercolour paints (for this workshop I will be using just a few watercolours (yellow, burnt sienna and cerulean blue)
• a watercolour brush 
• tissue/rag
• jar of clean water
• spare blank paper
• watercolour pencils
• white gel pen (or white paint)
• masking tape and ruler (optional)
