Nishant Jain

DESCRIPTION

In this workshop, the subjects of our art will be the people of this great city. Watching from the shadows, we will observe closely while drawing quickly. We will be the fast and the sketchy. We will be gone in 60 seconds. A Sneaky Artist draws beauty from their immediate surroundings, without drawing attention. Like an art-ninja!

By the end of this workshop, we will see how human presence lends relevance and meaning to the urban landscape. We will see how simple linework can illustrate character and evoke personality. We will conclude with a throw-down to celebrate our collective trip through Chicago.

LEARNING GOALS

Participants will gain confidence to take a sketch from start to finish in a short amount of time. This opens up countless opportunities to sketch at airports, bus-stops, restaurants and bars, without constantly annoying one’s friends and family.

• Minimizing linework to keep a clean page
• Seeing the city with respect to its people
• Selective detailing to save time and give emphasis

SUPPLY LIST

• Sketchbook with up to 2 pens or pencils of choice. No erasers!
