We sat in a garden and produced multiple sketches, focusing entirely on mark-making and texture.
This was fascinating and hard work for me. I am not someone who enjoys making tons of tiny marks. I know loads of people find it meditative and relaxing, but I always catch myself wanting to get on with the next thing. There just seems always to be so much more to capture.
One of the last things we did in this workshop was go to the entry of the hotel and draw people. We were assigned to do five people, full body, in motion, in fifteen minutes. Thanks to all the practice I've had in Roz Stendahl's classes and in drawing at soccer games, I was able to sketch many more. Plus, they move so fast.... I don't know how anyone could spend three minutes drawing someone in motion!
What a great day! We were all exhausted and exhilarated at the end.
If I ever had a chance to do a workshop with either of these teachers again, I would!
