Local assoc. architect, Lyndsey Stough, finds joy in sharing her hometown pride and design passion through immersive experiences suitable for newbies and experts alike. During this event Lyndsey will show you her approach to capturing the style and characteristics of buildings using simple pen and paper. Learn the foundational techniques for a lifetime of successful sketching in your own favorite places with lineweights, proportion, texture, composition, perspective, and shadow. We will start slow with brief exercises to warm up and defeat the "blank page fear", then progress into longer observational challenges. Lyndsey's classes focus on different subjects revolving around historic commercial architecture. This round will explore the Queen Anne style in Downtown Main Street Sylvania. The class takes place in a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) which means you may enjoy alcoholic beverages from nearby craft breweries and restaurants during the event.
