This past Saturday was my first Travel Sketching with Watercolour Pencil class since March 2020. I was excited but nervous leading up to the event. I decided to keep the same format as I had in the past, mainly for my own comfort.
I have listed four Saturday mornings for a two-hour class. I had two people at the first session and it was really like a lovely long chat. Christine and Sandra could ask questions along the way.
We meet in a room at East Melbourne Library and I explain the equipment.
The weather was sunny. so we next go for a walk a block away and stop for 15 minutes for the first sketch. Then walk a block for another 15-minute sketch, then move on to another before heading back to the Library for a final chat.
I have another class next with six people registered. I also offer a sketch kit for purchase. It is amazing how many people already have watercolour pencils at home and want to know how to use them. Hopefully, this class motivates and inspires.

Thanks for your patience as I learn to use Eventbrite!
Hi Alissa, I’m wondering if you’ll be offering a more advanced class for those of us who have already completed your introductory class. Thanks.
Sounds like a great class, and thanks for sharing your process, Alissa. Looks like your equipment explanation included playing with watercolor pencils and water? What do you carry in your kit; do you use water brushes? Sure wished I lived close …… I’d be there!
I would really love to attend your class but I’m in NZ so I’ll just have to hear about it.
I will be in Auckland in late April if you are around then.
HI Lorraine. yes definitely. I have just started back with classes and would love to expand on these into the second half of the year. I would be really interested in learning what you are interested in and would like in a class. You can respond here or contact me. There is so much to discover about watercolour pencils. Previous I had classes on Food & Drink sketching with Watgercolour pencils and also Nature sketching with Watercolour pencils. –
