In this regular weekly 1h practice session, we will harness the power of two of the most fun, easy, & incredibly useful exercises for both improving the accuracy of your drawing and enjoying a mindfulness practice.
Gesture sketching is fast & loose, quickly capturing the whole.
Contour is slow & careful, finding edges and planes.
I will guide you through a series of timed exercises, sketching from photos, video, objects on my desk, and even from life (BYOS— Bring Your Own Subject). At least as useful as life drawing (in my opinion) but more accessible, discreet, and with less focus on perfection or a single final product.
These are skills that both beginners and pros can practice any time, anywhere, but they are often underrated and forgotten about. I often use them for a standalone warm up, or for beginning more polished and detailed renderings. Come away with the satisfaction of filling your sketchbook and committing to your wellbeing!
