About This Experience

Many sketchers avoid drawing people because they think it’s too challenging.  But, like anything else, the more you practice, the better you get. Peri will share some of the sketches she’s done in sketchbooks and tips on using ink and watercolour for quick practice on the spot.

Peri-Laine recommends having a warm and cool of each primary colour, plus burnt sienna or burnt umber (dark brown). Below is a list of colours and paint brands found in her travel watercolour palette.
