After taking this workshop students will be able to:
Integrate warm-up exercises to help them approach drawing the human figure with less trepidation.
Focus on essential lines that identify what a figure is doing walking, pointing, stooping, talking, etc.
Express more fluidity and feeling into their people.
The outcome will be greater confidence and inclination to include people in urban sketches. Students will be able to use different approaches in different sketching situations.

INSTRUCTOR INFO:
Jane Wingfield is a former website designer, artist and urban sketcher living in Olympia. She got her start at the 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. She started teaching in 2017 by co-leading five weekly workshops, Sketch In the City: from studio artist to urban sketcher in five weeks, and followed that with a summer workshop, People in Places, in Olympia. 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.
