This is a great way to capture the essence of a pretty building, or little shop or even a grand cathedral.
We’re only sketching the front. Straight up, straight down, and straight across.

Think of your building as a box. Take away the other 3 sides and just keep the front. That’s all we’re sketching.

Some of our classes were doing just that this week and we ended up with a delightful collection of quite different styles. In fact something that’s not very interesting at all can really become quite stunning.

Intro classes were learning our watercolour techniques and the ‘white top and sides’ lesson.

The Sydney Workshop at Kings Cross had a few hiccups when workpeople turned off the water to the El Alamein Fountain - the subject of their sketch. All’s well that ends well.

Do take a look at our sketches from this week. We have Classes and Workshops from Sydney to The Tweed, plus a Workshop I attended with a tutor who has Downs Syndrome.
