Sketching & Watercolor: Journal Style

Saturday June 20 in San Diego, California (Sunset Cliffs)
10-4pm
$90 per person (includes all supplies)

 

Be inspired to record your life, a special trip, or your daily adventures in a loose, quick journal style format. Spend the day discovering visual journaling with artist Jane LaFazio.  This class will be held in Laura’s beautiful garden and at the ocean across the street from my home.  Jane, known for her friendly, encouraging teaching style, will demonstrate drawing and watercolors on location using a straight-forward, intuitive approach. You'll choose simple objects, vignettes or vistas to draw and paint, and then journal your impressions and thoughts on 5x7" pages. Everyone has their own drawing style, just like handwriting, and Jane will help you to see and then record what you see on paper.   

The class is geared for beginners, but all levels are welcome. Absolutely no drawing experience is necessary.  If you're someone that has that voice that says, "I can't draw", this is a perfect way to break through it and to start having fun journaling what you see.   
All materials are included in the fee. Bring a small camp stool or folding chair, hat, sunscreen and bag lunch.

Using colorful wool fibers, a modernized ancient technique, some creative designing and a lot of elbow grease, you will create a beautiful and feels-so-soft felt square in few hours.  It may not be large enough to build a yurt; but it will make a lovely wall hanging or become part of another fiber piece.  During the felting process there will be lots of time to visit and laugh with other participants and you won’t need to go to the gym to work out that day! All materials are provided for you including a selection of wool rovings and the equipment needed to create your own original 18x18” piece of hand-made felt.  Wear clothes and shoes that may get wet.   Questions, e-mail Jane at PlainJaneStudio@gmail.com.
