Discover the joy of drawing and visual journaling in this sketchbook series led by local artist Boo Mason.
Open to all skill levels, this hands-on program explores the fundamentals of sketching: line, shading, texture, perspective, and composition, while encouraging creative freedom and personal style.
Each session introduces new techniques and guided prompts, with opportunities to experiment with different mediums such as watercolor and collage. Participants will combine drawing with journaling to capture ideas, stories, and experiences, resulting in a personal art journal you can continue to use long after the series ends.
Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to an old passion, this series offers a relaxed, inspiring space to loosen up, try something new, and grow artistically.
