Travel Sketching: Interiors in One and Two Point Perspective

About this course

When we’re doing travel sketching or urban sketching, sometimes we forget about interiors. But when you travel, or even when you’re out and about in your own hometown, you’re inside all kinds of interesting spaces.That could be your house, or the apartment or hotel you stay in when you travel, or maybe it’s an art museum, a cathedral, or the café where you have your morning coffee.All of these are places you can capture in your sketchbook to just help evoke a sense of place and remind you of little moments in your everyday life or your vacation.The trick with interiors is that you need to really understand perspective.So in this class, we’re going to work on simple one and two-point perspective, which will help us build the room and place all the furniture within it.You might be used to doing this outdoors, on the street, but we’ll work on applying those techniques indoors as well.Once we work out how perspective works inside a room, we’ll get really creative and playful with ink, watercolor, markers, colored pencil, and any other mixed media you’d like to use.Although we’re going to be working from photos in this class, the idea is that we’ll create quick, simple sketches that you can absolutely do on location.
