Hello!
Welcome to “Sketchbooking!” with Lewis Rossignol!
In this class we’ll explore composition, shading, and different levels of completeness as not every sketch has to be fully fleshed out. We’ll bring our other passions into our sketchbooks, and explore different types of reference. But most of all we’ll have a good time pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. Through these six lessons we will start a new sketchbook that you will be able to finish afterwards using new ideas, thoughts, and techniques.
Go ahead and ask to join the FB group! For Padlet, you do not need an account to participate, but if you would like your name to appear above your posts, go ahead and sign up for a free account.
Thank you again for your signup!

Class Itinerary
Lesson 1
We’ll start by looking through some books and see all kinds of ways that different artists use their sketchbooks, and then do an exercise that will take the pressure and anxiety out of drawing in a brand new sketchbook.
Lesson 2
This lesson is all about composition and finding multiple solutions to the same problem. We will focus on minimalism and empty space.
Lesson 3
In this lesson we will experiment with multiple methods of shading, as well as continuing to think about composition.
Lesson 4
Bring your favorite scientific or organic interests into the realm of your sketchbook!
Lesson 5
We’re going to start our final project in this lesson: a grid drawing. I’ll demonstrate how I start these types of drawings.
Lesson 6
This final lesson will be a demonstration of how to complete a grid drawing, focusing on mini compositions that create one larger composition.
