OLLI0099 - Drawing Your Life: Learning How to Keep a Sketch Notebook

Course Description

Keeping a sketchbook journal has become a very popular pastime in the last decade. Urban Sketching, a movement based on drawing from real scenes on location, is now practiced all over the world. In this class we cover the basics of how to keep a sketchbook journal, including materials, basic drawing, painting techniques, and different styles of sketchbooks. We will begin by drawing simple objects, then progress to interior room scenes, then end with drawing landscapes outside. Along the way we will learn about perspective, color, and focal points. The main point is to learn to love the process, not the results! No prior art experience needed. This course will be recorded.
