Paul Ingold

DESCRIPTION

This workshop will focus on adding depth and value to your urban sketch using pen and a minimal watercolor palette.  The demonstration will walk through Paul’s thought process as he considers what he’s seeing and decides how to approach the sketch.  Specifically, the demonstration will discuss the angle of light, where shadows fall, and how to get started in a potentially overwhelming location.  You will then have time to experiment with light and shadows in a quick sketch exercise.  After a friendly group review (not a critique!) of sketches, you will continue to hone your skills through three 20-minute sketches.  This workshop will conclude with another group review and discussion.

• learn how to start a quick urban sketch with pen and ink without being overwhelmed by the busy city environment;
