Simple Sketch: Capturing Cozy Images
One Zoom Session
Sat., Dec. 6, 2025, 9 am-12 pm MT

The winter months can seem dreary and devoid of much color. To counter the doldrums, you might consider joining artist and popular Enrichment Program instructor Judith Cassel-Mamet to fill some pages with colorful sketches that capture cozy moments. Her “simple sketch” approach is all about finding ways to make satisfying marks and embracing joy in the process rather than aiming for any kind of artistic perfection. Cassel-Mamet leads you in exercises using basic lines and simple splashes of watercolor to represent items that bring warmth and color to the quiet season. What comes to mind when you muse on the notion of cozy? Do you imagine a comfy chair, a good book and a mug of hot chocolate? All these images can be captured using the simple sketch techniques Cassel-Mamet demonstrates in this Zoom class. From contour lines to watercolor washes, this workshop encourages you to find your unique voice as you give yourself some time to focus on the quiet delight of the winter months. Complete beginners as well as experienced sketchers are welcome! Supplies for the class are kept simple: you’re encouraged to have your paper, pens and watercolors ready to go as you sketch along with Cassel-Mamet. Come away with fresh new art and a much better winter!
