Line to Color: Urban Sketchers Workshops
May 17-19, 2013 |
Like any building, a sketch needs a good foundation. In this intensive workshop, architectural drawing instructors Frank Ching and Gail Wong will walk you through clear steps covering the complete process of making a sketch on location, from the time you draw the first line until you apply the last touch of color. This workshop will occur over a 3 day period meeting at various historic locations in Seattle and will consist of 4-3.5-hour sessions starting Friday evening and ending Sunday early afternoon.
We will start with a Friday evening sketch outing in Ballard’s historic district, then meet for dinner and a keynote presentation at the Ethan Stowell’s Ballard Pizza Company restaurant. Keynote topics will cover, perspective, composition, process in developing the sketch, approaches to watercolor and value. Ideas introduced in this session will be demonstrated on site and practiced in the following sessions with one on one help from Frank and Gail.
Saturday morning meet at Gas Works Park. This session will focus on line drawing as the base of the sketch. We will start by considering the selection of a point of view and establishing a basic structure for a drawing. The afternoon session will build on the morning’s work and add value and color to capture the quality of light, enhance the sense of spatial depth and accent the focal point of your sketch.
Sunday apply approaches you learned on Saturday. Gail and Frank will be available for more one-on-one consultations with workshop participants. We will join the Seattle Urban Sketchers for this sketch outing..location to be determined. Frank and Gail will be available to give you advice and individual help.
