Live Demos

My favorite art sketch materials and methods are shown. Basic to advanced ideas offer students techniques to explore the visual world.

16min

Inspiration + sketch + art examples will help students try new (or revisit) sketching methods and tailor what will work for you.

See which of my sketches worked and those that did not. See visual + final sketch.

The zoom class video (see replay "Sketch Class") will be as if we were sketching together on location in Charleston.

Students should get familiar with what 'locks in' a favorite idea. This is more about how to spend quality time with your subject and mine it for possibilities. It's less about making a 'finished' nice painting but obviously this is a welcome perk when it happens. Try the ideas shown and see what works for you.

Please watch (or skim) the Charleston Impression video in the Urban & City Library collection. Do also explore the Mini&Memory series in Fundamentals. Work small. Play! For reference you can use the Charleston Impression download. I've also put that here.
