Sketching With Confidence

At the ACWL-Nuveen we like to schedule thematic art classes that relate to our exhibits. In our current exhibition – Grand Gestures II – several artists chose to render the figure on their large format drawing paper. We were inspired by these drawings so we reached out to experienced Urban Sketcher Mary Jo Ernst to see if she would offer her Quick Sketch: People class. MJ offered the class to help students get over the “fear of sketching people”. She provided a helpful summary of tips and tricks on how to draw people boldly and with confidence.  Check out some photos from the class!  Also, if you are interested in these quick sketch techniques check out MJ’s upcoming class – Portrait Sketch Party - on March 12.
