You'll learn my step-by-step approach to on-location sketching that dramatically simplifies a complex scene, saving you time and frustration, and making your efforts more effective and enjoyable. The techniques build directly on my first class, "Drawing People and Crowds Made Simple." Now we'll take the next steps, adding a lively urban context. I've taught this approach to thousands of students across the globe with great success. By class's end, you'll have the tools to be successful as well.

You'll learn:
How and why I start urban sketches by drawing people first
How to see architecture as simple, easy-to-draw shapes
How to simplify details without losing richness
How to build an ink line sketch full of life and energy, step-by-step
How to add richness with watercolor washes

This is a class for all skill levels; my students range from beginners to professional illustrators. All enjoyed, learned and came away with new confidence, and so will you. By the end of the class and completion of your project, you'll have a firm grasp on my personal approach, tips and techniques, and be ready to learn more in the next class. So relax-this is going to be fun!
