SketchingPlaLab: An Experience, an Experiment, Pure Play

We can often can forget the pure joy of playing. Just like the playgrounds we used to visit, we want to recreate the same adventure of discovery and combine it with our love for sketching in our virtual playground.

For each play session (45-60mins), we pick a concept, technique or medium to play with. We hope to inspire you to through our own playful experiments. We believe there is wisdom and inspiration to be found in play.

Objectives:
1) Sketching: Transfer all our new discoveries and learning back to our own sketching practices
2) Play: Foster pure enjoyment involving the whole being.
3) Lab: A place for experiments, innovations and even failures.

Travel Sketching in Costa Brava, Spain. 2021.

A Sketching Workshop with French Escapade and Suhita Shirodkar

Come join me for a week long painting adventure in the magnificent Costa Brava, Spain.

Over the week, you will:

• learn travel sketching techniques, from 5-minute pen & ink sketches to creating larger watercolor pieces in your sketchbook
• develop your observational skills, and learn to draw from life
• study watercolor painting and mixing color to help you capture the colors of your travels with a limited palette
• learn to sketch people, places, flora and fauna so your sketchbooks can truly reflect your travels
• learn compositional techniques for successful travel sketchbooks.

There will be critiques and discussions about your paintings and I will spend part of each day “one on one” with you as you sketch the magnificent views.
