WORKSHOP
W6
Saturday morning
Gabi Campanario
This workshop is aimed at sketchers who want to capture their travel experience using a small sketchbook and very few tools.
No need to bring a portable stool or folding chair. To embrace this minimalistic sketching lifestyle you need to travel light so you can whip out your sketchbook at any given moment. You need to learn to draw while standing up, leaning up against a wall or in any unforeseeable circumstance.
The workshop will cover a range of useful drawing tips to help participants develop a sustainable, fun and uncomplicated sketching practice.
Be ready for moderate walking as we wander around making small and beautiful drawings in Edmonds’ charming downtown.
Learning goals:
How to hold the sketchbook and draw standing up
Sight measuring tips to make big scenes fit across a spread
How to flesh out your line drawings with an ink wash
Storytelling: Adding notes and writing
Supply list:
Small, pocket-size sketchbook (3.5” by 5.5” or A6)
H2 pencil, 3B pencil
Waterproof ink pen of your choice (Micron PN or Uniball); or just a Bic ballpoint pen
Higgins black or blue waterproof ink 1 oz
Pentel Aquash Water brush (large tip)
Small rag or paper towel
Two binder clips
Water bottle to stay hydrated!
