November 20 meeting - In person/ZoomVirginia Hein - Dance of Line and Color - Sketching
For the demo, she will start with an ink line drawing made earlier on location, then show her approach to adding color, working from my photo of the location. Virginia’s sketchbook drawings were recently featured in the exhibit, “Descanso: LA’s Garden” in the Boddy House at Descanso Gardens.
Virginia has worked throughout her life as an artist in a variety of ways—as a designer for toys and entertainment, art director, illustrator, and teacher. She taught drawing at Otis College of Art and Design for 13 years, As an active member of the worldwide community of Urban Sketchers, she has taught workshops at five international Urban Sketchers Symposiums. She has contributed her work to a number of books about location sketching. Her book “5 Minute Sketching Landscapes”, was published by RotoVision, in 2017, and she co-authored “The Urban Sketching Handbook Spotlight on Nature”, Quarry Books, 2022, with Gail L. Wong. Virginia considers drawing to be her first language, and continues to find drawing a path of discovery and joy. Join us in person for Art of the Month competition.
