Join expeditionary artist and Art Toolkit founder Maria Coryell-Martin at the Wooden Boat Festival’s Boat Yard Stage on Friday, September 11th from 12pm–12:45pm for a presentation on exploring fundamental sketching techniques and essential tools for creating colorful and expressive sketches. We’ll practice gesture, contour, and thumbnail sketches to capture a sense of place quickly and to encourage creative flow and inquiry.
We will have Art Toolkit Explore Palettes and Aquash Water Brushes for you to borrow, as well as some for sale! Come join us for a morning of sketching, a day of fun at Wooden Boat Festival, and visit our shop just a short four blocks away after the presentation to check out more of our adventure art supplies.

We hope to see you there!
About the Wooden Boat Festival
The Wooden Boat Festival is a ticketed event, and our presentation is just one of dozens of events taking place that day.
Featuring hundreds of wooden vessels, dozens of indoor and outdoor presentations and demonstrations, a who’s who of wooden boat experts, and thousands of wooden boat enthusiasts—there’s something to do, someone to meet, or a boat to board at every turn. Expanded a little each year, the Festival honors its traditions while inviting energetic debate and demonstration about the latest innovations in boatbuilding, equipment, skills, and adventure. To learn more about the Festival and purchase tickets visit their website: woodenboat.org.
