Vitality Arts: Sketching Fashion
Explore Mia’s “Paris Couture” exhibition and sketch costumed figures using low-pressure exercises and a variety of materials. This course is suited for all experience levels, including beginners.
Each week in the studio, teaching artist Stephanie Watson introduces new sketching techniques with a variety of materials, including pencil, watercolor, and oil pastel. Prompts meet you where you are, whether you’re just getting started or have plenty of experience. This course is all about learning to look longer and deeper, loosening perfectionism, getting playful on paper, and having fun with the other artists in the room.
The course includes a guided tour of “Paris Couture” to see the designs and artistry up close and to hear the stories behind them. Because the exhibition is busy and requires timed tickets, group sketching isn’t possible in the galleries. All drawing takes place in the studio and other areas of the museum.
