Just Draw It: An Urban Sketching Workshop
Urban Sketching is an international drawing movement used to document the goings on and essence of a particular place. It encompasses all styles and mediums but must be completed en plein air. Michael Pope and Aaron Ashley will take participants through selecting a scene, how to draw quickly, using shapes as reference, and adding details and tone.
Please bring a limited tool kit of a small sketchbook, pens, pencils, brushes, watercolour set, and a portable stool/chair.
