Let’s get outside and see our beautiful city with fresh eyes! Let’s sketch whatever catches our eyes: buildings, intricate architectural details, trees, flowers, street lamps, road signs, bus stops, trains, people walking, running, having a good time in the cafes, enjoying outdoors.
You will be inspired to have fluid sketches, try different combinations of wet and dry media and use expressive color.
Suggested sketching route:
Day One: Boston Public Library to Boston Common
Day Two: Faneuil Hall Marketplace to Waterfront/ New England Aquarium Area
Do not worry about rain, there are plenty of semi-covered areas in the city for us to use.
For advice on which materials to get, please reach out before the workshop!
Students meet on the Copley Square Side of the Boston Public Library (Dartmouth Street). In case of rain, students will be notified of alternate location.
