Urban Sketching – A Moving Target with Jody Regan

Drawing wherever you find yourself is a joy and a way to observe, record, and absorb your surroundings. During this workshop you will work to quickly capture the excitement and interest of the world around you on paper. Through demonstration, and a variety of exercises, you will learn strategies for composing, drawing, then adding color to your sketches. Jody will show her compact sketching tools, designed for portability and working in public spaces. Start your year off with a sketching adventure. It’s a beautiful and busy world out there.

All levels welcome.
