Sketchbook Class with Lindsay Stripling
Couldn't load pickup availability
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 6:30 - 8:30pm PT
This is an in-person workshop at CfM Art Room:
4035 Judah St, San Francisco, next door to our shop!
In this session we'll walk through brainstorming, using reference, leaving ideas for your future self to pull from, and working to fill a full spread with your ideas. You will fill every part of the page and be able to look back and be inspired by your ability to follow through on an idea, or many. I will also read aloud one of my favorite short stories, and we'll talk about capturing images as they pass through your mind.
MATERIALS NEEDED
These are the supplies you'll need to bring for class—feel free to supplement this list with other options you love or have on hand!
- Pencils! Whatever you like to use. I prefer a .9mm HB or 2B mechanical pencil and a Blackwing Classic—something easy, and a little softer
- A 3"x5" Moleskine lined notebook, or a similar small notebook you can throw in your pocket or purse. We'll use this to set up a practice of catching ideas.
- Sketchbook and pencil! Whatever you have on hand; you can even use printer paper if you don’t have a sketchbook.
- An eraser! But we won’t use this much.
-
Sharpener! In case you need it.
This class is focused on simplifying the sketchbook using the most basic materials, to concentrate on composition and the ideas we are working to bring to life. You're of course welcome to bring other materials, but I'll only be using pencil.
If you'd like to purchase supplies from our shop, you can order online and select in-store pickup, or shop in person before class. Shop hours are 11am-6pm daily; please plan ahead if you're picking up supplies! Instructors will not have access to the shop when we're closed.
