Continuing with sketches from my full day Urban Sketching Boot Camp workshop with Veronica Lawlor and Melanie Reim...
After drawing 20 thumbnails in 20 minutes, we chose three of those thumbnails to explore further. In each thumbnail we had to identify three specific objects. Then we had to do a variation on each thumbnail moving each object through foreground, middleground, and background.
I sort of screwed it up in the first example, but in the last one you can see I finally got the hang of it, with the person, the tree and the wall occupying different picture planes.
This was, for me, a mind-bending exercise. I LOVED IT.
A bit later we walked to a church and our assignment was to draw it in several ways, thinking about depicting emotional content. How does this building--and all it signifies for you in your life--make you feel?
That was fun and really tapped into my storytelling impulses.
