Course description

Sketching is gaining popularity every day, sketching is where most artists' creative lives begin. If you do not know what to draw, then draw your painting accessories - they are always at hand! I treat all my brushes, paints and pencils with trembling love. That's why I always enjoy drawing them. I also suggest you to draw your favorite instruments with me. For a sketch you do not need many materials - a simple pencil, a liner and a minimal watercolor set.

This is the recording of a Live-Course.
