Sketchbook Drawing and Journaling

Whether you’re brand new to drawing or have been keeping a sketchbook for years, this workshop offers a fun, relaxing space to build your drawing and observational skills. All skill levels welcome!

In a friendly, stress-free group setting, you’ll have the chance to experiment with different materials, follow along with guided demonstrations, and receive supportive feedback from the instructor. This class focuses on enjoyment and personal growth rather than perfection.

Sketchbooks are a great tool for practice, relaxation, and even documenting everyday life. A small sketchbook is provided on the first day, and students are welcome to bring their own drawing supplies or use those available in class. At the Senior Centers in Reading and North Reading, MA. See schedule below.

Through fun drawing games and hands-on demonstrations, students will learn how to create their own unique characters and exciting stories for comics. They'll explore how facial expressions, body language, and sequential art help bring stories to life—improving their visual storytelling skills in a relaxed and creative environment at their own pace.

​Students will also discover different methods for making mini-comics, including one-page folded books and small multi-page stapled books. By the end, they'll have their very own comic creations featuring the characters and worlds they imagined!
