ever! Sketchers from around the world are invited to attend ten on location classes with an  official Urban Sketching instructor to learn or improve the core value of Urban Sketching, Discover the World, one Drawing at a Time.

In this third  class, we will be continuing to use principles of perspective to create sketches of small dioramas of historic local buildings from the museum collections. Ticonderoga pencils, ink, and watercolor will be used for the final sketches.

Instructor info:
Thomas Thorspecken has been documenting arts and entertainment in Central Florida for the past
10 years. He started the online news site, Analog Artist Digital World in 2009 as a New Year’s
resolution to do one sketch a day for a year. It became a lifestyle and he continues to put down roots
in his community by discovering Orlando’s story one sketch at a time. This course will encourage
students to carry a sketchbook everywhere they go, and write articles that explain what transpired as
the sketch was being done. The hope is to get artists to document the city’s history with their sketches.
