The Sketchbook Society

Welcome to our next class focus in The Sketchbook Society Art Passports to Morocco by Kristy Kensinger.

Morocco is a country that arrests the senses. The geometry of its tilework, the layered color of its souks, the vast quiet of the Sahara, the rose-filled valleys of the Atlas foothills. This round of Sketchbook Society takes us there together, virtually, through paint, pattern, and the richly visual culture of one of the world's most inspiring places.

Join Kristy as she moves us through seven distinctive lessons, each rooted in a different facet of Moroccan life and landscape. The class spans mixed media, watercolor, portraiture, and oils, and is as much a cultural immersion as it is an art education.
