As an Urban sketcher instructor she has conducted multiple workshops on location using colored paper to create sketches with suitable color harmonies.
Workshop Description
In this workshop the colored paper we use for our sketch becomes our lens and not just our canvas.
The sketch will be the outcome of the colored lenses we choose to wear that day stamping it with our individual aesthetics. We will learn to make informed choices regarding colors, patterns, composition and mediums. The color of our paper will dictate our color harmonies and the patterns we choose to print on them will define our composition choices. While defining the focus of the drawing we will use mixed media to introduce light, luminosity, and contrasts to tell our story in technicolor.
Supply List
Any A4 size, colored paper( minimum 2 sheets of the same color),150-220 gsm. Waterproof micron pens in any 2 varying sizes.
Some color materials: a watercolor kit and brush. Titanium white gouache, Watercolor pencils,pastel pencils, markers are all good choices for mixed media work. A small stool is always good for comfort and flexibility on location.
