In my previous urban sketching classes, we have already learned a lot about drawing architecture - from doors to entire streets, with or without perspective. The subject that we have not covered a lot yet is how to draw windows. So, in this class, I'll teach you everything you need to comprehend the basics of drawing and painting windows in an easy and fun way.
I will start by giving you an overview of the supplies I'm going to use and give my suggestions to you. Then, I will explain how to draw windows in general and how to apply shadows. Then, we will practice various basic techniques useful for painting glass and reflections. I'll also give you a few suggestions for additional practicing because, as you know, practice makes it better! There will be plenty of tips, from choosing a good reference and drawing straight lines to achieving symmetry in the window drawing, dividing a frame into equal parts, and mixing paint colors. Finally, I will step-by-step take you through my sketching process.
I hope this class will allow you to feel more confident drawing and painting windows so that you can deliver a great sketch at the end of it and will be able to create your own beautiful sketches later!
I'll be happy to see all your drills, exercises, work in progress, and, of course, the final sketch in the Project Gallery and give you feedback. (let me know if you want to get more profound feedback, I know not everyone likes it).
Even if you have little experience or are not that confident about your drawing skills, don't worry about the outcomes and allow yourself to play!
♥ Enjoy and have fun! ♥
