Workshops Schedule -- 5 Opportunities to Learn!

’Tis the season to start planning sketching workshops!  And because all good sketches start with a good foundation, these workshops I offer are called “Good Bones”!

I’m so thrilled to add that my book, the fourth in the series, The Urban Sketching Handbook: Understanding Perspective is already available for pre-sale on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Here is the schedule for upcoming workshops through June.

If you are interested in joining any of these workshops, please contact me ASAP by email 

stbower@comcast.net to hold your spot!!

SEATTLE (3)

Pike Place Market workshops in Seattle:

March 4 -  5 + March 6 (1/2 day):  Good Bones | Perspective & Watercolor

This workshop devotes one day to learning perspective, a second day to watercolor basics, 

and a third 1/2 day to put it all together when sketching on location.

Days 1 and 2, we spend the morning working from PowerPoint lessons in a classroom at the Pike Place Market, then apply this to sketching on location in the afternoon. Sunday is a half day, when we’ll sketch and paint at the lovely restored King Street Station in Seattle.

Cost: $200, maximum 15 participants

April 9, Saturday: Good Bones | Watercolor

This one-day workshop focuses on the use of Watercolor in architectural sketching—materials, mixing colors with a simple palette, and quick techniques. We’ll look at lessons via PowerPoint in the classroom early in the day, then sketch on location in the colorful Market in the afternoon. There is nothing like watching someone paint in person for learning how!

Cost: $100, maximum 12 participants
