3 PM to 6 PM – $35-$300 1st of 10 Orlando Urban Sketch Workshops. Orlando Public Library 101 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32801. The
first Orlando Urban Sketch Workshop will cover Little Stories (Microcosm,
Small Objects). I encourage artists to bring a small personal object
that has personal meaning. We will discuss how everyday
objects can tell a story.
We will warm up doing contour
drawings in which more time is spent looking at objects rather than
looking at the sketch page. The fact that a sketch isn’t perfect is an
excuse to loosen up and have fun with the process. I will do quick
sketches for each student to drive home ideas that could help with each
sketch in progress. Each sketch is a step towards slower and more
deliberate observation.
After classroom discussion and sketches, we will branch out
and sketch small isolated scenes in the library. You could sketch
someone reading, or focus on some small items in the library
collection. The idea is to find something small and intimate to sketch.
The library closes as 6 PM and we will meet in the classroom just before
closing to look at all the sketches done and compare notes.
