Urban Sketching Workshop on Perspective with Jason Roberts on May 11

The next Urban Sketching workshop “Let’s Put It in Perspective: How to Accurately Represent Structures in Space” is on May 11 at 10:00am. If you ready to tackle architecture and street scenes in your sketches but feel intimidated by perspective this workshop is for you. If you already draw a lot of structures but despite your best intentions the result is a bit wonky this workshop is for you. If you need a refresher ahead of summer travel and sketching outdoors this workshop is for you. Jason Roberts, an architect by training and a long time urban sketcher will lead you through the series of steps to whip your architectural drawings into shape. We still have a couple of spots open.

USK 10x10 Reporting from Portland Updates

Some highlights from our two past USK 10x10 Reporting from Portland series. On June 3rd we met for a lesson on drawing structures applying the principles of two point perspective and a step-by-step guide on drawing streets. Then a week later we reunited to draw multilayered panoramas learning the tricks for giving depth and complexity to our sketches.

Centennial Mills or whatever remains of it is a perfect spot for two-point perspective

Who says you can't have a view and stay warm and dry too?

Update on USK 10x10 Workshops

On Saturday we met at the Union Station for a class on one point perspective as it applies to drawing interior spaces. Jason Roberts did a great demo, and we saw quite a few "light bulbs go off". We meet again in two weeks to learn about two-point perspective and to apply these principles to drawing more complex city scenes. Plus a demo on how to draw modern glass architecture.
