1pm to 4pm. $60. 10 X 10 Workshop: The Frankenstein Effect. East End Market and Domu (Upper balcony) 3201 Corrine Dr. Orlando FL 32803. With instructor Thomas Thorspecken.

For the second year, Urban Sketchers Orlando is taking part in
10×10, the worldwide initiative to offer educational workshops wherever
sketchers live. Launched in celebration of Urban Sketchers’ 10th
anniversary in 2017, the program brings a variety of courses on urban
sketching techniques taught by talented local instructors in their home
cities. In 2017, cities around the world began offering 10×10, a series
of 10 courses telling the stories of our places. For 2018, Urban
Sketchers have a new creative plan of long term workshops.

DESCRIPTION:

When sketching events on location it is sometimes helpful to
search for the high ground to get an overview of the scene. From above
people are less likely to block your view. This class will discuss how
to place figures in the scene as viewed from above. We will discuss
perspective, sighting to find angles, human proportions and gesture.

When people move you can piece together individuals from
multiple people in the crowd. I often track an individual adding detail
to the location where I placed them initially in the sketch. This is a
way to “Frankenstein” the scene together. If we were sketching a scene
in a movie, this would be the establishing shot. The goal is to utilize
the course material to finish one sketch in a two hour time frame.

SUPPLIES:

A sketchbook of your choice, HB pencil, Micron pen or fountain pen
with waterproof ink, Pentel waterbrush, travel watercolor palette, brown
and black colored pencils, a rag and small water supply. A camping stool
is a great addition but not 100% necessary.

Thomas Thorspecken is a correspondent for the Urban Sketchers organization
since 2009 and has been an official Urban Sketching instructor for two
years. An illustrator and journalist he is working in and around Central
Florida and has been documenting arts and entertainment for eight years
in one sketch a day for his online news site, Analog Artist Digital World.
Thorspecken was an animation artist for Disney for 10 years and has
taught courses at Full Sail University and Elite Animation Academy. USk Correspondent.

10pm to Midnight Free but get a coffee. Comedy Open Mic. Austin’s Coffee, 929 W Fairbanks Ave, Winter Park, FL.  Free comedy show! Come out & laugh, or give it a try yourself.
