Immerse yourself in the art of urban sketching during Craftcation with a series of guided outings across the vibrant city of Ventura. Designed for all skill levels, this workshop will help you build or enhance your sketching practice while capturing the essence of the city’s downtown streets, serene parks, iconic beaches, and more.

Through hands-on exercises, demonstrations, and personalized guidance, you’ll learn techniques for quick, expressive sketches and detailed studies. We’ll cover essentials like composition, perspective, light and shadow, and creative use of color, all tailored to help you develop your unique style and artistic voice.

You’ll also discover practical ways to integrate sketching into your daily routine, fostering creativity and mindfulness. By the end of the conference, you’ll walk away with a sketchbook filled with memories of your Craftcation experience, along with the confidence and inspiration to continue your sketching journey.
