DESCRIPTION:
Do you get hung up on a detail, too timid to know where to start and never capturing the bigger image that you wanted? In this workshop we will look at strategies for loosening up and using your intuition to guide you in sketching the big picture.
LEARNING GOALS:
1. Identify the main subject for the focus of the image.
2. Establish consistent perspective angles
3. Determine the lighted side of the image
4. Learn how color can add depth and focus
5. Be bold and enjoy the process of the drawing; dont worry about the mistakes
