Down the Road: Dynamic Compositions
Workshop language: English
This workshop explores the dynamic compositions that can be created when looking down streets and alleyways. We are seeking to simplify the complex perspective, and demystify the process of adding detail on buildings viewed at a harsh angle.
Key skills:
Participants will learn how to:
- Break down complex compositions into simple shapes and “zones”
- Replicate dramatic perspective with ease
- Simplify and replicate detail when seen at an angle
- Create focus in their sketches
Suggested material:
This class can be completed with whatever watercolor paints, brushes, graphite pencil, and paper participants already have on hand, it doesn’t require anything special!
