Sketch-booking
is the activity of filling sketchbooks with drawings of life, from life.
Learning to draw is learning to see, and anything and everything going on
around us and in front of us is our subject.
We
have 2 goals for the class: finding the beautiful in wherever we are and
discovering that the process of seeing and drawing is just as important and
more fun than trying to create a "finished drawing".
We'll
use materials that can fit easily into a pocketbook, satchel or a large jacket
pocket: pencils, pens, erasures, and if you're using brushes and inks,
you’ll need a small container for water.
We’ll
start each class with a few quick lessons, where I’ll demonstrate techniques to
develop greater eye/hand/mind coordination and teach you how to practice
capturing the likeness and the spirit of a place or a scene.
We’ll visit public places to draw where we can watch and draw without
attracting undue attention to ourselves like parks, coffee shops and diners,
libraries, museums, tourist attractions, even cemeteries.
