"The Artist's Sketchbook" Workshop with Colorado artist J.R. Monks
In this engaging session, J.R. Monks will share how artists can use sketchbooks not just for practice, but as powerful tools for observation, exploration, and idea development. Participants will learn how to capture fleeting moments, experiment with composition, and build a visual vocabulary that fuels future artworks.
Whether you’re a seasoned painter or just beginning your creative journey, this workshop offers valuable insights into how sketching can deepen your artistic process and enhance your studio practice.
