The Art of Travel with a Sketchbook
with Vicki Chapman
Monday 12th October
9.30 - 3.30 pm
Cost: $100 Members
$120 Non Members
(both include a $10 materials fee)
Bookings Open: Sat 19 Sept at 10am
Including art in your travels requires a bit of planning. Your kit needs to be light, small and practical. Vicki is very used to taking her sketchbook on her travels and knows what works well as she creates on the move. It’s a bit of drawing, a bit of painting, a bit of urban sketching and a lot of practical fun. Join her as she shares her perspective on “The Art of Travel” - what to take, selecting your subject and several techniques to use with your limited materials.
During the workshop you will do a tonal drawing using tombow pens, another using fine line pens and another adding colour to the mix – your choice – watercolour or water-soluble coloured pencils. She will also help you to review some of your travel photos to find the ideal composition. It might not be a grand temple, or outstanding view, perhaps it will be more about capturing a feeling or memory.
Vicky will also lead you through custom making your own concertina sketchbook to suit what you want to use on your travels.
Forget taking a huge bag of unnecessary art stuff that doesn’t get used. Been there, done that… and never want to do it again? Then this is the ideal workshop for you.
Past President of the Art Society of Tasmania, practicing artist, in demand tutor, Vicky has worked tirelessly to raise the profile of arts in the Tasmanian Community.
