I have been meaning to try out one of Cathy Johnson’s art workshops
since I discovered her work a few years ago, but never really found the right
time for it. Then a few months back I found myself going through her online art
classes and getting more and more excited at the thought of signing up for one.
I talked about it for a good couple of months and finally on March 31st
I signed up.
The format of these mini-classes is quite simple. Each class costs $30
(which is less than £20) and consists of 4 weekly lessons. Once you’ve signed
up, an email containing a link to the lesson (in pdf format) is sent to your
address every 7 days. It is up to you to do the rest; the reading, the
exercises, the more practicing.
I have been a bit geeky about this mini course and, although I have been
sketching for years now, I decided to sign up for the first of the online
mini-classes: Quick Sketching
1.
The first lesson included some very basic info and tips, and my first
thought was that maybe I should have enrolled for a more advanced class. Much
to my surprise I found the lesson very useful to help me get into the idea of
what really a quick sketch should be about and also to re-discover some of my old
tools.
Here is my sketchbook after week one.
