Live class- Thursday September 11th 1:30 PM PST (Patreon)

Hi everyone! This week our live class is a topic class. I want to dive more into sketching from reference photos, with pen, freehand and without measuring. I’ve attached a few photos of what I mean. The bridge is from a picture I took on the Seine river in France, second is a picture of my daughter and my husband waiting in line at Disneyland. Neither were planned, measured or sketched beforehand and it was actually very fun and enjoyable to paint! I want to show you all my tips for tackling more complicated subjects with this style.

For this class I’m going to use a size 01 micron pen. If you don’t have one you can use a dark pencil, but these waterproof pens are relatively inexpensive and easy to find at craft stores or amazon.

I’m also going to use coldpress watercolor paper, split primary watercolors: lemon yellow, cerulean, magenta, cad yellow, ultramarine, cad red, indigo and sap green. I’ll use a size 4 and 10 round brush for the class as well.

How live classes work: the morning of the 11th, I will post the live class link here on the main page. At 1:30 PM PST when the class starts you will be able to click the link and join the class. If you cannot make it live, the classes are always recorded and available to watch any time. I can’t wait to paint this one with you!

Let me know if you have any questions!

(Also fyi, next month we’ll switch to earlier times. I know not every time works, but I switch it up each month)
