WE HAVE CHANGED THE START DATE AND MOVED THE SESSIONS FORWARD BY ONE WEEK, AS IT RAINED HEAVILY ON THE DAY OF THE FIRST SESSION. THE LAST SESSION WILL BE ON 7 OCTOBER.
WHO IT IS FOR
THE WORKSHOP IS AIMED AT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET STARTED WITH URBAN SKETCHING AS WELL AS URBAN SKETCHERS WHO WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR TECHNIQUE.
DESCRIPTION
THIS IS A FOUR-SESSION COURSE INTRODUCING AND IMPROVING THE PRACTICE OF URBAN SKETCHING. YOU WILL PRACTISE THROUGH DIFFERENT DRAWING EXERCISES, LIVE AND ON LOCATION, IN THE CIUTAT VELLA NEIGHBOURHOOD.
DRAWING ON THE STREET IS CHALLENGING, BUT ALSO VERY REWARDING, AND WE CAN SURPRISE OURSELVES WITH UNEXPECTED RESULTS, CREATIVE SOLUTIONS AND EXCITING DRAWINGS. YOU WILL USE A SERIES OF TECHNICAL AND NARRATIVE RESOURCES TO ACHIEVE THESE RESULTS.
THE IDEA IS TO DRAW OUTDOORS, LEARN FROM BOTH MISTAKES AND SUCCESSES, AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. PLUS, DOING IT AS A GROUP WILL BE EVEN MORE FUN, AND WE WILL SEE VERY DIFFERENT RESULTS AMONG THE PARTICIPANTS.
THE FIRST SESSION WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE CERCLE AND WILL BE A CLASSROOM-BASED SESSION.
WHAT TO BRING
- A SKETCHBOOK OR SHEETS OF PAPER (IF YOU USE WATERCOLOUR, THE PAPER SHOULD HAVE SUFFICIENT WEIGHT AND A FINE GRAIN TO MAKE LINE DRAWING EASIER).
- A FOUNTAIN PEN, MARKER, BALLPOINT PEN OR PENCIL FOR THE LINE WORK (IF YOU USE A FOUNTAIN PEN OR MARKER, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE INK IS WATERPROOF SO THAT YOU CAN APPLY WATERCOLOUR OVER IT).
- WATERCOLOURS AND/OR COLOURED PENCILS.
- A STANDARD BRUSH OR A WATER BRUSH (MORE PRACTICAL).
- CLIPS TO HOLD THE PAPER OR SKETCHBOOK (IN CASE IT IS WINDY).
- A FOLDING STOOL (IF YOU HAVE ONE, EVEN BETTER).
