A lovely class yesterday for food and drink sketching with watercolour pencil. It was a free community engagement activity from Melbourne Library Service.
All food and sketching supplies provided in a two hour session.
A curious and engaged group of 15 had fun playing with watercolour pencils. Lots of chatting, eating and bright colours.
A few people purchased sketchkits and the following information will be emailed to them. Hopefully some are inspired and motivated to continue.
Below are a few links to some practical hints and tips from my weekly art blog.
