Drawing Out & About

Drawing Out & About

One day workshop, Saturday, August 14, 10-4:30pm

This will be a full day of learning to draw for fun. Urban sketching and sketch crawling are now being practiced worldwide. This enjoyable day should prepare you for a lifetime of outdoor drawing pleasure. It will give you great ideas for improving and practicing your drawing skills in public–when you travel or just when you are out and about at home.  Most of the day will be spent practicing drawing outdoors. Bring your lunch to the class. We will eat our lunch when we are hungry. The less time for lunch the more time we will have to practice our “drawing out and about” skills.

If you would like to add color to your drawings, bring a travel watercolor set, a brush and a small water container. We will use my book, The Pocket Drawing Book, as a guide to the exercises presented. Bring your copy of this book to the workshop if you have it.

You will learn:

• short and easy practice exercises for drawing people and architecture
• 22 tips on how to draw or paint in comfort in a public place
• ways to add watercolor to your line drawings
• how to draw quickly and easily with confidence
• how to draw people, places, faces, spaces, trees and other outdoor things.
• simple and impressive drawing techniques, including hatching and shading
• which pens to use with watercolor

This day of hands-on drawing is designed to get you drawing daily anywhere and loving it.  No matter what your skill or background, this workshop will have you drawing more and often.
