The Shape of Water
Saturday, August 10 from 9am to 12 noon
Location: Laurelhurst Park
Instructor: Rita Sabler
Rivers, lakes, and bays make for a perfect urban sketching setting on a warm summer day, but how do you capture this liquid perfection and everything that is reflected in it with mastery and ease? In this workshop we will work on observing and capturing reflections from the distortion of shapes and interplay of colors and textures. We will practice techniques for rendering the transparency and depth of water, from subtle ripples and waves to the appearance of submerged objects.
