SketchKon will feature over 50 workshops and programs throughout the weekend, all led by the world’s top sketchbook artists. They will share tips, techniques, materials know-how and ideas on sketching and drawing, watercolor, travel journaling and pocket sketching, lettering, design, and so much more!
