Stumped by lack of direction? Overwhelmed by creative roadblocks? Struggle turning inspiration into finished artwork? Tackle these artistic obstacles head-on in this hit-the-ground running sketchbook workshop.

“Your sketchbook is your passport to a life well-lived; a laboratory for experimentation. Develop a creative discipline that pushes you out of the studio and into the field in pursuit of new ideas, experiences and a story worth telling. — Sterling Hundley

Each session introduces creative exercises, prompts, and lessons to push past the blank page. With Sterling’s real-time demos and in-depth critiques, you’ll learn to amplify your sketchbook into a powerhouse of fully formed concepts. You’ll develop themes, ideas, and original concepts in the pages of your sketchbook to amplify your unique voice and vision. Experiment with materials and processes to give shape to these ideas.

Student Outcomes

This course will challenge you to step out of your studio through weekly challenges to observe, document and draw from real-world events. Return to the studio to shape those experiences into meaningful words and pictures. Students will develop a discipline of daily sketching, writing and thinking that informs their finished artwork and refines their distinct artistic voice.
