Description
Drawing from nature! Dare to start on the blank page!
How to look, see, grasp, represent quickly and easily in your notebook. How to compose, create, color your observations. How to find the place and context that interest you in a proposed place.
How to try to keep the memory, the moment... like sketching in the evening at the bar or at the activities/shows of the AKDT.
How to build the essential pages of our notebook through the path/journey in the interior and exterior environment of the AKDT.. During this course, our progress will be supported by good gestures and a series of exercises of lines, shapes, shadow and light. It will give us the opportunity to discover, to try different techniques: the simple pencil, marking, pen or stick, playing with the colors of our watercolor box, its mixtures, the chromatic force or even the colored grays, restoring the values, space, composition and framing, graphics and writings ... and some notions of different expressions of perspective. Each participant will be supported, led to discover and develop his personal creative universe.
