Line to Color Workshop is back this year with a return visit to Orange County, California.
Join us for a wonderful weekend of sketching and learning in San Juan Capistrano and Laguna Beach, California. Get inspired by the beautiful landscape and ruins of Mission San Juan Capistrano and waters of the Pacific Ocean. (Yes, Mission San Juan Capistrano is famous for the swallows who migrate to the mission every year.)
In this intensive workshop, architectural drawing instructors Frank Ching and Gail Wong will walk you through clear steps covering the complete process of making a sketch on location, from the time you draw the first line until you apply the last touch of color. Meeting at various locations in Orange County, the workshop will consist of a 2-hour keynote introductory session, three 3.5-hour work sessions, and a 2-hour sketch crawl conducted over a 3-day period starting Friday evening and ending Sunday afternoon. Topics will cover perspective, composition, the process of developing a sketch, and approaches to adding watercolor and value. Ideas introduced in this session will be demonstrated on site and practiced in the following sessions with one-on-one help from Frank and Gail.
The evening introductory session will be held at the offices of KTGY Architecture + Planning in Irvine CA. Sketching sessions will start on Saturday morning, at Mission San Juan Capistrano, with two small groups working simultaneously. Each group will have the opportunity to work with both Frank and Gail. Frank will focus on line drawing as the basis for a sketch, considering the selection of a point of view, and establishing the basic perspective structure for a drawing. Gail will focus on the application of color to the sketch; introducing watercolor, brush techniques, adding value and color to capture the quality of light and enhance the sense of spatial depth.
