Where do I start? Theres so much! It doesnt fit! Do you recognize these sentiments? Thumbnails can help! Theyre a great way to play on paper with the scene before you begin a sketch. Well work on simplification, composition, value, color and, most importantly, how to focus on the story you want to tell with your drawing.
Learning goals:
Learn to use thumbnails to:
* Establish your viewpoint
* Determine your focus
* Simplify the scene
* Emphasize whats important to you
* Use value and color effectively
* Plan a larger sketch.
Supply list:
Required:
* One soft graphite pencil (2B or 3B)
* Pen of your choice with waterproof ink. I recommend a line width of 0.3 or wider. I usually use 0.5. (Finer points call for more detail. We're concentrating on less detail.)
* Your favorite sketchbook for our final sketch. (I like Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbooks. Their new square format allows for flexible formats.)
Optional:
* Portable watercolor set
* Portable stool
* If using watercolor, water, paper towels, brushes

She got her start at the Chicago Art Institute Chicago Art Institute Childrens Program and later studied art at the University of Washington, Western Washington State University and Evergreen State College working in oil painting and printmaking. She also studied sumi-e painting in Tokyo. Being an urban sketcher has given her the gumption to come out of the closet, pull out her sketchbook and start sketching just about anywhere.
