Description
Do you get hung up on the mechanics of perspective? Often our thinking gets in the way, but once you understand the basics in perspective it’s really just about drawing what you see. In this all-day workshop I’ll share some simple tools to use for believable scenes. We won’t use rulers or triangles, instead just your pen or pencil and some helpful tips. 


Learning Goals
After the class you will
·      Be able to make natural-looking scenes with depth and  dimension- without using rulers or triangles
·      Have some tools and tips creating believable urban scenes.
·      Offer a sense of place to your drawings so viewers can inhabit the space.
·      Know how to establish the basic structure of a scene to make everything fit together
·      Have fun with interior and exterior urban scene.

Workshop Location
Because it’s still March, we’ll start indoors at the Capitol Rotunda – we’ll meet in the main lobby. There are great hallways and arches useful for perspective drawings. In the afternoon I plan to head downtown for some real urban sketching. If it’s too cold or messy, we’ll just stay at the Capitol. Nonetheless dress for weather – layers, windbreakers and maybe even fingerless gloves.
