Sketching and Painting Architecture with Ink & Watercolor
01/16/2025 - 03/20/2025

Enjoy the fun of sketching buildings and urban scenes with ink and watercolor — a technique that encompasses the visual appeal of both drawing and painting. The class will include choosing a subject, creating a composition, taking both a methodical and loose approach, line quality, paint handling, and the fundamentals of linear perspective. (These techniques will also be useful for “urban sketching” on location.) The class will include a demonstration by the instructor as well as individual instruction at each students level of ability, but it is suggested that students have basic drawing skills.
