For centuries, artists have used sketchbooks to document the world around them, refine ideas, and generate inspiration for finished works. In this session, participants will learn how to approach outdoor in-situ sketching and explore how drawing plays an essential role in the creative process. This workshop is ideal for artists interested in using a sketchbook to evolve their ideas and support their artistic practice.   What to Expect: Studio Session: Introduction to sketchbook practice, its purpose, and techniques for quick recording in-situ. Learn core methods such as ‘shorthand’ sketching and practical logistics. Outdoor Guided Sketching: Head outside with the tutor to sketch nearby surroundings. Free Sketching Time: Enjoy independent sketching in the nearby woodland. Show & Tell: Return to the studio to share and discuss work. Materials: Participants bring their own materials (a list will be provided in advance). A selection of dry media will also be available to experiment with on the day. We will go outside to sketch and walk around to Glenbower Woods, so be sure to bring suitable outside clothing and shoes as well. This workshop is perfect for anyone eager to explore landscape sketching in a supportive and inspiring environment. Cost: €70 pp Spot are limited, Book here!
