Description

After a brief intro, students will participate in a quick exercise- designing with ink on toned paper. They will then use this concept to respond to the local site’s architecture, “urban furniture,” as well as any plants/trees, people, as they choose their subject and point of view to incorporate visual contrast, richness, and variety of darks into their sketches. As the ink work comes close to completion, we will consider adding limited touches of color or even white. After a brief review/critique, participants will explore starting with quick applications of a limited range of hues and values of watercolor in their second sketch. Then, about half-way through the process, we will switch to adding ink with pen and/or brushes. Afterwards, we’ll gather to share our sketches and to discuss the results and recap the process.
