Sketchbook Provincetown with Aaron Thompson

< Back to Workshops

Wednesday-Saturday, July 5-8, 9am-12pm

4 sessions | $300 for members $320 for non-members

Provincetown is rich historically and visually, providing a host of plein air subjects ideal for improving drawing and watercolor techniques.

Participants will meet to record their observations in sketchbook form on daily outings to significant local sites. Students will also learn consolidation of materials for a variety of travel processes making a mobile sketchbook practice more manageable. The concentration required in drawing directly from observation leads to a deeper understanding of the city’s forms and rich cultural history.
