Description

Stephanie will demonstrate her process of starting a perspective sketch down to three simple steps — what she calls the “Good Bones,” a process that sets up the foundation for any sketch!

She will share examples of original sketches done around the world to talk about her process, and then she will show that process of sketching on location in her sketchbook. She will work in layers, starting with the big shapes and then the participants will draw in their sketchbooks. Participants can watch as she adds more detail, then they work more on their drawing. This way, everyone can see the process and apply it to their own sketch from the light lines at the start to finishing in watercolor.

She will demo how to use a simple, limited color palette to quickly paint the solids and voids of the spaces so that the volumes and forms read, eventually working our way to the details. Participants will also learn how to do a wet-on-wet watercolor technique to add varied color, a sense of light and more interest to their sketches.
