I have the drawing ability of a potato. A travel sketching class seemed like a good way to sidle gently into learning a new skill.

Travel sketching is meant to be quick, portable and easy, I reasoned. It should be a better entry-level class than, say, the acrylic painting, botanical drawing and charcoal drawing classes listed on the Lasalle College of the Arts Short Courses page. Those options sounded too technical and advanced for my limited abilities.
