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.
