Everyday Sketchbooks with Deb Mostert

As a part of the RQAS Workshop Festival participants are invited to the workshop: Everyday Sketchbook, run by artist Deb Mostert. 

This workshop will explore the use of sketchbooks as an everyday record of a life observed. With a simple kit of materials that you can carry with you, you can start a habit of drawing every day. We will explore recording our daily lives from the ordinary to the unusual and prove to ourselves that we can get a creative going and keep ourselves observant and present. We will experiment with hatching, watercolour washes and fun drawing exercises.
