GOOD BONES | SAN ANTONIO TX | an Urban Sketching Workshop| April 13-14, 2024

I always say that good sketches start with Good Bones! In this workshop, you’ll learn the simple steps to set up the foundations of a great architectural sketch in perspective and watercolor. How do you start a location sketch? Where is the darn Vanishing Point? Watercolor is too overwhelming!
Held in the beautiful and vibrant historic THE PEARL, an award-winning urban development along the famous San Antonio Riverwalk, this workshop offers 1.5 days of instruction in perspective and watercolor location sketching.

Day 1 | FULL DAY | Saturday, April 13 | 9am – 5pm* | Meet in front of Cure by 8:45am

  • Morning: Introduction to basic watercolor tools and techniques, using a simple palette of colors. Shade/Shadow.
  • Afternoon: Learn perspective basics and a simple step-by-step process to construct an architectural perspective sketch, how to build the sketch in layers and add architectural watercolor.
  • * One hour break for lunch.

Day 2 | HALF DAY | Sunday, April 14 | 9am – 1pm | More perspective and watercolor to cement the concepts.

GOOD BONES | SAN ANTONIO is open to 15 participants with any level of experience, but it’s targeted to sketchers who want to improve their basic sketching and understanding of perspective and watercolor. We will focus on how to sketch buildings and urban spaces, and The Pearl is the perfect setting!
