Just a quick little demo so that folks could do a little drawing and get started in their journals. I had a lot of information to share, 3 assignments for them to try during the 10 days they have now before the part II workshop. There were 14 in the class and all different experience but that is not so much of an issue.
We talked about how sketching the way we are approaching it, is a little different...not as preparation for anything but rather a glimpse into what make us unique, what find interesting and important, and a way to remember where we were and what were thinking at the time. Sometimes to tell a story, sometimes to remember, sometimes just to marvel at something, and sometimes just to enjoy the movement of the pen and watercolor.
I had them look at some of my journals for samples.
We looked over the 3 main books that form the background for the workshop, reviewed the videos that I had sent them earlier.
I had them prep their journals, glue an envelope in the back for a straight edge and some other ideas...like sample fonts, or a stencil.
We talked about the 3 P words...passion, perseverance, and practice.
A nice morning.
