We are introducing three areas of creative practice in our Travel Sketching & Painting Workshop: modern illustration using a fine nib pen & graphite pencil, watercolor washes with a favorite travel watercolor set + water brush, and the art of plein air travel capturing while on the go. Chelsea shares her step-by-step overview to build on basic drawing & painting skills to comfortably sketch the world around you. Chelsea starts from ground level for all drawing beginners; if you’re an experienced sketcher though, you’ll appreciate her tips for growing your style to capture what you see around you in a plein air fashion.

What we love most is that this workshop focuses on art outside of the studio! Chelsea’s chosen a beautiful, artist-grade, fine nib fountain pen (amazing for the thinnest and thickets of lines) as well as a lasting set of travel watercolors by Winsor & Newton to be your main tools for travel. Whether you’re adding a sketching journal to your daypack for five minutes of creativity at a local park or while jet-setting across the country, we hope to inspire creativity wherever you go. Travel journaling allows one to practice creativity every day and to capture the very best memories via pen and paper. Whether you’ll fill yours with train stubs and photos and mixed media collages or use your sketchbook strictly for watercolor washes, we can’t wait to see how you explore.

This workshop includes:

A detailed, digital workshop led by Chelsea
A live & recorded Maker Chat Q&A with our artist
Tools and materials from artisan suppliers, curated for you, by Chelsea

The tools & materials included in this kit:

A hand sewn travel A5 sketchbook featuring a a custom every-other assortment of 140# cold pressed Legion watercolor paper and AQUA mixed media 135gsm paper for both wet watercolor, dry illustrations, and a blend of each. Each is made by Beth Soler in Hollywood, Florida.

CHELSEA WARD
TRAVEL SKETCHING & PAINTING

Welcome to our workshop on travel sketching & painting with illustrator and watercolor artist Chelsea Ward of Sketch Notions. In this workshop, Chelsea introduces her favorite artist-grade tools and materials for building detailed illustrations and beautiful watercolor captures within a travel sketchbook.

This workshop focuses on capturing art outside of the studio. Whether you’re adding a sketching journal to your daypack for five minutes of creativity at a local park or while jetsetting across the country, we hope to inspire creativity wherever you go. Travel sketching and painting is a unique way to document your daily adventures around home and your journeys abroad. Creating art while traveling gives you a unique souvenir and a deeper memory than any quick snap of a camera.

Chelsea has been sketching almost daily, home or abroad, for nearly ten years. In 2009, Chelsea studied abroad in Italy and found a love for watercoloring and documenting her surroundings outside the studio. Eventually she found her way back to Italy where she lived for two years, sketching the entire time. Upon returning home to California, Chelsea created her business Sketchy Notions to share cards and prints of her watercolors and sketches. Sketchy Notions has evolved but still features Chelsea’s original art from her sketchbooks. Chelsea also co-hosts art retreats in Italy where she helps others find a love for travel sketching and painting under the Tuscan sun.

We can’t wait to see how you are inspired to create using these new techniques and this wonderful travel kit. Be sure to share with us your process and your projects by tagging @sketchynotions and using #thecraftersbox. Happy travel sketching and happy making with this special workshop.
