29 September, 2022

Description

This course will give you the necessary tools and techniques to develop a lifelong passion for drawing on location and telling stories using your sketches. In the class we will cultivate the ability to draw quickly from direct observation, pulling inspiration from daily experiences, combining words and illustrations to create vivid, funny and memorable snapshots of everyday life. Further, we will turn our attention to architecture and street scenes using rules of perspective to draw indoors and outdoors using expressive, fluid, and confident ink lines, and bringing our stories and characters to life with the help of watercolor. Urban Sketchers is the international community of artists who show their world one drawing at a time and share their work online through blogs and social media channels. Instruction, demos, field exercises, and group and individual feedback is part of every class. Although the classes are built as a progression you can sign up for individual sessions based on your interests and availability.
