My Crealde School of Art, Urban Sketching Class had three students on this Sunday. It was raining so we couldn’t sketch outside the studio. I decided that if each student has their own table then there should be about six feet between them. I also decided to leave the studio door open for a cross breeze.
We focused on sketching the studio itself by using the perspective lessons I has taught and also to capture as many fellow students as we could. I did this quick sketch as a sample. You might notice a straight line across the image, I put that in to demonstrate that each students eyes were about the same height above the floor and therefor straight across the page.
This sketch was also done to demonstrate the idea of pools of light. I darkened the walls as they receded into the corner of the room and added a spot light effect to add a center of interest. The room was lit with florescent lights so this effect was not very pronounced but I pushed it in my sketch.
I have one more class to teach this Sunday January 20, 2020. All of my students have been really talented and they take my premise for each class and make it there own. Classes will resume again starting Sunday January 24, 2020.
