About this Event

https://www.mancusosketching.com/

This workshop is about Sketching the beauty in the day to day activities and objects that are your life! Sketching as a way to pay attention and to explore your world.


I approach Sketching as a conversation between the Sketcher and the Sketched, and the resulting visual image is simply a record of that particular moment and your experience. No tricks, no filters, just you paying attention with a pen and leaving a map of the territory you discover.


In an effort to minimize decision fatigue we will be working with a waterproof pen, a water soluble pen and pencil, a waterbrush, and a limited set of watercolors in two small sketchbooks. This simple and small kit will allow you to work almost anyplace, at anytime, to sketch anything. To make sure we all have similar kits, there is an additional $40 fee for materials which are yours to keep.
