GE2021-45
It is easy to take photos of the cityscape nowadays, but have you thought of sketching it? Follow artist Elaine Chiu and sketch the iconic buildings on campus with pencil and watercolours! Don’t worry about the fundamentals— you will be guided through the process, from drafting to colouring. Participants will finish two paintings, one each of the Main Campus and Centennial Campus, respectively. The sketching practice will be divided into two parts: (1) introducing sketching and perspective drawing in pencil; (2) focusing on watercolour and its application. Elaine will also be there to take any questions you may have about becoming a professional artist!
Participants’ works will be exhibited on campus, details to be announced.
