Workshop with Marina Grechanik (in English)
A good sketch is like magic. It can capture action, movement, emotion and time - it can capture life itself! But how do we make this magic happen? Sketching people is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks for sketchers, but also one of the most fascinating. This workshop is about sketching people in action, but not in the traditional academic sense. It is not about anatomical modelling and measuring proportions. We will draw as many different people as we can, trying out different approaches. We will start with a series of exercises that are fun and help us to get started without fear. We will free ourselves from automatism and break out of our comfort zone. In our final exercise, we will create a multi-figure drawing capturing movement and space, free from fear and full of fun!
Participants will need a sketchbook, pens, and a watercolor set for the workshop. The workshop will take place outdoors, so bringing a camping stool, water, and sunscreen is generally recommended.
