+ I’ve designed this course to work alongside my book Painted Pages: Fueling Creativity with Sketchbooks and Mixed Media. I’m so happy that this class is bringing to life what i started in my book. You may think of my book as a supplemental “workbook”, it’s certainly not necessary, but I know it will enhance your class experience.
