Introduction to Urban Sketching for Creative Journaling Workshop 220122

In this beginner friendly workshop, Kathleen will share and demonstrate the fundamentals of sketching, watercolour painting techniques, and break down in phases how you can create your own unique piece of urban sketch art work.

Kickstart your journey with an introduction on simple tools that you’d carry, use for sketch journaling on-the-go, and the basics of observing and sketching a heritage-style architecture - the kind of buildings around us that tell the most stories.

Besides sketching, you'll also learn the medium of watercolour and how to create light and depth in your sketch. This would be done within a time frame and “cafe-like” setting, simulating an urban sketch outdoors as you travel around in the future. Free-flow coffee is available at the workroom anytime you need a perk me up!

Participants will be able to sketch and watercolour the artwork above during the workshop on an A5 paper.
