As a designer and art director working in the animation industry, I’ve kept my observational skills sharp by sketching and painting in the field as much as possible. There is so much more to be gained by being physically immersed in an environment, rather than exclusively working from photos. The ability to change perspective, shift focus and capture the feeling and energy of a space are invaluable to my little piece of the creative industry.
Whether it’s a simple demo, full-day workshop, or immersive week-long course, my focus is to share my approach to understanding complex environments and to compose attention to a specific area or action within a sketch. Using some cinematic staging techniques, I pull together people, vehicles, architecture, foliage, and light to tell the story of the space I’m sketching.
By thinking a few moves ahead, artists who take part in my workshops will exercise their ability to stay loose and exaggerate their observational work to improve speed, confidence and develop an appealing style of their own.
I work in ink and watercolour using a fountain pen and traditional watercolour brushes.
Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to help me book a workshop in your city…otherwise, sign up for an upcoming listed workshop.
