There were eight of us from our sketching group plus twenty new faces. Our first time together at the Library was an introduction to sketching and keeping sketchbook/journals.......sharing page ideas and layouts for those who wish to do more than just sketch on each page (to include headings and descriptions).
Each of us from the group took turns sharing our journals and talking about what we enjoyed doing along with some of our sketch kits we set up to take out with us. Following the sharing and discussion of our members' sketchbooks, I shared several examples of my own sketching ideas and layouts on screen that I use that doesn't take a great deal of pre-planning. Basically selecting a spot on the page to sketch and filling in empty space with headings and/or description.
It was such a fun two hours and really pleased by the turnout of new people.
Next month we will go over and play with Hand Lettering for the purpose of headings and jazzing up our pages while at the same time keeping it simple without a lot of fuss.
