# Sketchbooks and Watercolour Techniques

We had a Zoom Workshop with Alex (a visual artist) this morning.

We made a concertina sketchbook with a keepsake folder ready for our trip to Dove Cottage next week.

We then tried out different watercolour techniques. We used salt and clingfilm to achieve different effects and we even used the wrong end of our paintbrush to draw.
