WORKSHOP- Ink and Wash Urban Sketching with Moumita Roychowdhury

Ink and Wash Urban Sketching

Adv $48/Reg $55 

This will be an outdoor workshop to capture the mood and feel of uptown Waterloo. We will learn to sketch and shade using ink and then apply colour washes to make our urban scenes come alive. We will try to capture people's gestures, light and shadow on buildings and the hustle bustle of daily life through our urban landscapes.
