Sketch Around Lexington with Pen and Ink and Watercolor
(This workshop is offered through Lexington Arts and Crafts Society) 
July 10 – 14 • 10am – 3pm
Using a good quality sketchbook, the combination of pen and ink along with watercolor is inspiring and satisfying. You will learn how to capture the essence of a scene and let go of the pressure to be precise. Learn different drawing techniques and approaches for measuring and improving perspective. Whether you are traveling, sitting quietly on a bench or inside a crowded cafe, the art of sketching is a great way to slow down, record an experience, or practice being in the moment. It’s a perfect skill for painters to acquire. If it rains we sketch in the Plummer Studio at LACS. To register please click here. www.lacsma.org I am not sure their summer catalog is posted quite yet.
