Meet at The Gallery on 7th Ave for a brief lecture and a few practice exercises. We will then walk down to the Train Station (1 block away)
Learn how to sketch outdoors in public without fear. Miriam will guide you to learn to love playful sketching and to understand the critical difference between sketching and drawing.
In this workshop, we will start with several practices that will loosen you up, allow you to see and experience what you are sketching while giving your brain a rest.
Using a variety of materials, we will focus on the Historic Train Station and the surrounding buildings.
We will be working and experimenting with a variety of materials, but no erasers will be allowed. All of the experimental materials will be supplied for your use.
You will need to bring a small lawn chair or stool, a water container and water and, most importantly, a sketchbook. I recommend a 5.5” x 8” or 8.5” x 11” Strathmore Visual Journal MIXED MEDIA Sketchbook. The Mixed Media paper is important. Also bring whatever pencils, pens, and portable watercolors you have.
A materials fee of $10 will cover the use of other supplies and some special drawing implements. Pay to instructor at class time.
