Have we met our sketching objectives?

At the beginning of this course I set out a few objective I had in mind, and I just wanted to come back now we're finished to check we've met them and reflect on our progress together.

We said we would...

  1. Develop our understanding of simplicity in art

  2. Consider how ink adds textures and character

  3. Keep watercolours light and loose

  4. Be able to sketch in one and two point perspective

  5. Have a plan towards being independent

What do you think?

So, have a read through these points again and think have you met them?

Let me know in the community how things have gone, what were the biggest learning points and the biggest challenges for you!

If you have any feedback, positive or constructive do get in touch so I can be sure to continue to keep this a vibrant and useful course going forward.

Happy sketching!
