</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
have chosen the charming cathedral city of Canterbury as the location
for our summer weekend workshop which will include part taught and part
freestyle sketching within this most beautiful of locations. Both of us
are teaching workshops at the USK Chicago symposium in July and feel our
workshop approaches are complementary - and both integral to capturing
and evoking a sense of place; myself (Simone) by my precise
understanding of architectural drawing and perspective which generally
underpins urban sketching, and Pat with her exquisite calligraphy and
emotional response often through the use of colour, to what she sees. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
believe that our 2 workshops combined with demonstrations, informal
guidance from enthusiastic tutors, and time to explore Canterbury and
the picturesque seaside town of Whitstable will be an inspiration to
keen urban sketchers whether beginners or experienced; there should be
plenty to inspire and delight everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
spent five years studying architecture at Canterbury School of Art, now
University of the Creative Arts, so have extensive local knowledge -
and in preparing for this workshop I recently revisited a number of
favourite locations where sketching sessions will be based. Because I
have such fond memories of Canterbury and when I discovered urban
sketching, I really wanted to return and immerse myself in a weekend of
sketching there - needless to say I have been planning this workshop for
quite some time! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It
developed as primarily an urban sketching art holiday combined with
some taught sessions to enthusiastic and like-minded sketchers, but then
when I discovered that Pat Southern-Pearce might be in Kent around the
time that I was planning to do this weekend workshop, it all fell into
place. Two very different workshop approaches but both of us
practitioners dedicated to evoking a sense of place in our own special
way. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
are planning to use the first floor of the centrally located café
/restaurant La Trappiste on Sun Street for our main base. We will start
our day here and Pat’s lettering and layout sessions will be facilitated
here. Hopefully if good weather, we’ll be able to take advantage of the
first floor outside terrace!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To
truly evoke a sense of place, you have to understand the basic
principles of setting out the view that’s there in front of you. This is
an energetic and lively workshop focusing primarily on the basic
principles of one and two-point perspective through demonstrations,
tips, techniques and exercises that were covered in my book
Archisketcher. Aimed primarily at beginners but structured in such a
way to be a good refresher workshop for more experienced sketchers. As
well as looking at perspective, we will also be looking at ways of
‘capturing the big picture’ – whether that's Canterbury cathedral
remains to be seen!</span><br />

cartridge paper to get the best from the exercises, either in a pad or masking
taped to a board. Sketchbooks are fine for the final drawing; Simone uses an A5
Moleskine watercolour sketchbook and likes to draw across a double page., probably best
not to have a spiral bound book.</span></span></li>

</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
hope you find our workshop proposal of interest and please contact me
if you have any questions. Accommodation in Canterbury is pretty
expensive during the summer months, so if you want to join us I'd
recommend booking as soon as possible. Canterbury is an hour from London
St Pancras on the high-speed service so it's possible to travel down on
Friday morning (so saving on a night's accommodation). If we have a
few people planning to do this, we might move the start time - but this
can be finalised nearer the time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With all best wishes...we hope you are excited as we are about delivering this workshop!</span> </span><br />

It is available to preorder on Amazon and is published in the UK by Apple Books on September 3rd - although some people seem to have already received their copies! Parka Blogs (Teoh Yi Chie) has written a really good review of it here and I'm very grateful to him for reviewing it so positively <a href="http://www.parkablogs.com/content/book-review-archisketcher-drawing-buildings-cities-and-landscapes">http://www.parkablogs.com/content/book-review-archisketcher-drawing-buildings-cities-and-landscapes</a><br />

The publisher is North Light Books in the USA and RotoVision, part of Quarto Books in the UK. I've seen the first draft and it's very exciting for me as it's the first book I've authored. And equally as importantly, I have some fabulous contributors from the world-wide urban sketching community! I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say at the moment but I will post a more detailed update when I know I'm allowed to. I'm genuinely delighted at the opportunity to author this book and I hope it will be a valuable contribution to the increasing number of books about urban (and architectural) sketching.<br />
<br />
In the meantime I'd like to wish anyone reading this post warmest wishes for the festive season and very best wishes for 2015!<br />

Sketchers Manchester were invited to sketch at the 'Big Green Happening'
festival in Manchester yesterday. It was at St Clement's church, which
is in Chorlton - a leafy cosmopolitan south Manchester suburb, and the
event was about promoting sustainability and a greener way of life. Lots
of really interesting eco-businness in attendance including quirky
craft stalls, delicatessens, vegan food, craft beer, organic wines,
bicycle repairs and ethical fashion…and as the website says the event
was promoting...'campaigners, makers, doers, growers, educators and
builders'. It was a really friendly family orientated event...how nice
on a lovely spring afternoon which was perfect urban sketching weather! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here's
my drawing from the afternoon (too much talking...much of it about
urban sketching rather than drawing in my case!) and also a photograph
of us with our finished drawings in the sunshine.</span><br />

Theme is (unsurprisingly!) 'drawing the city'. It coincides with the Nasreen Mohemedi and Modrian exhibitions and will include gallery talks and visits. The morning will be based at the Tate and the afternoons will be spent out on sketchcrawls around the city. <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool/courses-and-workshops/drawing-city" target="_blank">http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool/courses-and-workshops/drawing-city</a><br />
<br />
As a companion event Urban Sketchers Manchester will be partaking in the 44th Worldwide SketchCrawl on Saturday July 12th and visiting Liverpool, starting outside the Tate at 11am. Full details and itinerary to be published in due course.<br />

You can find it here <a href="http://urbansketchers-manchester.blogspot.co.uk/">http://urbansketchers-manchester.blogspot.co.uk/</a> Also here is an illustration I recently did for Creative Tourist <a href="http://www.creativetourist.com/">www.creativetourist.com</a> to accompany an article on Manchester Cathedral.<br />

James Hobbs who established Urban Sketchers London will be in the London studio and I will be at Media City's BBC North. Saturday also coincides with the 42nd Worldwide SketchCrawl and Manchester is participating for the first time. I am of course extremely nervous but will do my best to talk about sketching on location...I will then have to hot foot it to Manchester city centre as I will have missed the start of our Manchester Urban Sketching group's SketchCrawl No1. We're drawing from Victoria Station to Piccadilly Gardens. See the poster I have previously posted for more information but anyone is welcome to join us for all or part of the day.</span>Simone Ridyardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11621483554554107620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512002913549479631.post-62564737845454778062013-10-25T07:00:00.003-07:002013-10-25T07:00:26.688-07:00Latest Urban Sketchers blog<a href="http://www.urbansketchers.org/2013/10/manchester-urban-sketching-group-visit.html">http://www.urbansketchers.org/2013/10/manchester-urban-sketching-group-visit.html</a>Simone Ridyardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11621483554554107620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512002913549479631.post-65676089270481232922013-08-23T06:01:00.001-07:002013-08-23T06:01:47.951-07:00Cornish sketches<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just back from north Cornwall. Here are a couple of my favorite sketches from the last week. The first is of the main harbour in Padstow and the second of Polzeath, which has a big surfing community and currently where our Prime Minister is on holiday!</span><br />

Here's what I had time to draw. Firstly at Manchester Airport - about 30 minutes, the second drawn on the marina promenade - 50 minutes, sketching with a colleague (we timed ourselves). Then the complex panoramic view from my hotel balcony sketched over 2 mornings. I remember from a holiday to Cyrpus years ago, the distinctive landing lights on top of dockside cranes - and also the radio mast and wanted to get them in my sketches. Then one evening, returning back to my hotel room after dinner and wanting to draw, I did my first night time sketch...in the dark. All I could see were outlines of buildings and lights (lots of them) including the landing lights and radio mast. It's a bit of a departure from my usual style...strangely liberating, although looks a bit frenetic!</span></span><br />

Here we are, the Manchester Urban Sketching group happy in the Manchester sunshine! We're in Castlefield, a historic and Victorian city centre regeneration area on a sunny Sunday afternoon in June. My sketch is of the Bridgewater canal basin, I really enjoy drawing narrow boats; my father had a boat on the Bridgewater canal for years, and I spent much of my adolescent years messing around on boats and canals. Quite a loose sketch, another instance of not having enough time, but enlivened with bright splashes of colour. Deansgate Chapel and the iconic Beetham Tower in the distance. Great output, some lovely work!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another complex urban sketch....so much to capture and so little time! Couldn't settle on a view and ran out of time, part view of tram platform with Shudehill car park and iconic Co-operative CIS Tower behind. Out sketching with Manchester Urban Sketching Group last Wednesday afternooon. Small turn out but some lovely work produced.</span></div>
