Classes
Sketchbook: Exploration + Daily Practice
Learn how to fuel creativity and form a habit of sketchbooking. We'll do collaborative sketchbook activities and overcome the fear of getting started. We'll explore lots of drawing, collage and comics exercises. Making art is fun, and it's for everyone! This class is heavily inspired by such luminaries as Lynda Barry and James Gurney.
Special Notes
Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to [email protected] with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
This studio is not wheel chair accessible from the interior due to two steps, but is accessible through an exterior door.
About the Instructor
Jamie Douglas
Hello! I’m Jamie, an illustrator, cartoonist and obsessive sketch-booker living in Richmond, Virginia. Whether based in personal experience or plucked from impossible dreamscapes, my art is narrative and imaginitive. It's often full of tiny details and humor. I was born in 1988 and I haven’t stopped drawing since. My go-to drawing supplies are the super thick & juicy 1.6 mm Bic Cristal pens (black ink), and those whiteout correction pen things.
