USk Workshop: Urban-Sketching
You don’t have to be an urban sketcher or have attended a USK-Atlanta paint out to attend my workshop. It’s open to all those who endeavor to enjoy sketching outdoors.
I have two workshops allowing you to choose whatever works best for you. One, two or both.
The first workshop held from 9:30am-12:30pm, is tailored for those who’d like to share insights from my practice that have helped me overcome feelings of overwhelm or fear when sketching in public. We will go over some thumb rules of proportion, perspective and color palette. Think of this as a refresher course.
The second workshop held from 1:30pm-4:30pm, on the other hand takes those who would like to explore the topic of direct watercolor but want to share in my ways of controlling watercolor. This class will emphasize direct watercolor in a park/botanical garden setting with a strong lean towards landscapes.

Workshop Schedule
Urban sketching 101 is all about PPP. Jokes apart, each hour will be about focusing on reducing fear because of each P, namely, proportion, perspective, people.
Hour 1, Proportion, How to frame a scene with fingers as viewfinder, marking the tallest object, the smallest object of interest and then scaling everything in between. Demo: 5 minutes
Hour 2, Basic two point perspective. Perspective changing because of object moving close, farther out, affecting proportion in larger composition, Perspective changes because sitting down, up. Demo: 7 minutes
Hour 3, Picking a Palette. How limiting color choices increases speed of sketching, reduces decision making time. Will introduce a triad palette but the basic palette from Gray Matter as well – 2 complimentary colors with a third neutral color to harmonize. Demo: Post sketch demo of how to fix issues thus far.
Extra Subject if I everyone blows through the basic concepts, Hour Extra, Putting Pesky People down on paper. How to morph hands from one person with head of another with legs of a third person and hence giving us time to draw as long as we want. Challenges and tricks to doing that. How to carry the concept to koi fish for example. Demo: 10 minutes
Urban sketching 201 is all about handling watercolors and working towards getting to direct watercolors.
Hour 1a, Warming up with washes, Demo: 5 minutes
Hour 1b, Visually and verbally dividing scene down to large shapes areas
Hour 2a, value sketches with large shapes with pencil
Hour 2b, value sketches with monochrome, watercolor
Hour 3a: Practicing adding 2/3 details with direct brush work
Hour 3b: Doing a full direct watercolor landscape painting
Supply list
For workshop 1: The bare minimum setup would be your regular sketchbook + 2b pencils. If you like to draw with ink pens, bring em. I personally fancy brush pens, so it those are your style, those are welcome too. Your bare minimum watercolor set if you are comfortable with it.
For workshop 2: A sketchbook that can take watercolors (paper 90lb or thicker), your urban sketching watercolor set, ~6 colors are enough, moist cakes/tube pigments, your favorite 2 brushes. I prefer round, round mops but you are welcome to bring in square brushes. Other obvious supplies are palette, container for water, bottle to take away dirty water, kitchen towels for dabbing your brushes, a portable stool to sit on or plastic sheet to lay down on the ground to sit on.
