Light & Shade, Малага, ИСПАНИЯ, 25-28 августа

Контакт: электронная почта Изабель: isacarand@gmail.com for information and a registration form

If there is something that truly defines the ancient port city of Málaga it would be its vitality. Life bristles among classic examples of architecture like the cathedral or the islamic fortress and the mismatched facades that face the Mediterranean. The gentle weather makes is a meeting point for tourists from all over the world and makes it possible that in its luxuriant gardens and parks grow subtropical plants from the five continents that bloom every time of the year.

Málaga is also the city where Pablo Picasso was born. It is precisely the master’s birthplace where the venue for the workshop will be, at the Fundación Picasso Málaga I Casa Natal

Plaza de la Merced. The building in the left background is Picasso’s birthplace.

We have organised six different locations for the 3 day workshop and you would be experiencing them all. As the weather will be hot, we have adapted our timetable to the climate and will have a longer break at lunchtime and time in the afternoon to be in the shade, we have organised some ‘cool’ making activities (practice on drawing trees, watercolour mark-making and lines and letters experiments)

It will be fun but hard work, as you will be enjoying learning and experimenting all the time, trying out different ways of drawing and mark making, sketching in watercolour and using colour in all forms without fear, sharing the work we do and discussing our findings intensely.

Each of the instructors will explore different themes of depicting Light and Shade in the context of urban sketching.

Свет и тень в акварели (Изабель)

We will explore Malaga as a city in the sun, with strong light and shadow contrasts.

Используя акварель в качестве основного средства, мы изучим идею цвета и контраста как отправной точки эскиза. Мы начнем с того, что определим, где будут самые светлые места эскиза - бумага, и где будут самые глубокие тени - самые сильные цвета.

Мы будем учиться абстрагировать то, что видим, используя смелые и контрастные цвета. Позднее можно будет рисовать либо более цветными линейными знаками, либо пером, если это предпочтительнее.

This workshop will help people to simplify the complex architecture but not be shy about painting views that in the first instance might appear too difficult.

Начиная только с рисования акварелью с использованием света и цвета, мы будем искать те элементы вида, которые нас интересуют.

Быстрое абстрагирование строительных форм и очертаний с помощью цвета

And slowly building up the watercolour layers to add complexity and depth to our work, adding a variety of marks to the sketch to increase its richness.

Building up layers of color – sketching a complex view

Light and Shade in line work (Miguel)

The aim of my workshop is to encourage the sketchers on working with line in order to find their personal handwriting to “write” their own tale of the environment or scene before them.

On the first instance we will observe and experiment on how our hand is used to move and work on the paper to realise if its natural stroke is long or short, curved or straight, pushed or pulled. Once we discover how our hand works when left alone, we will try to use its natural way to influence our drawing.

Secondly, we will focus on the elements that catch our attention and allow them to start our “tale” using them as a headline seed to let our drawing grow up as natural, free and personal as we want to. We will experiment with textures and colors to underline the actors of the scene, to separate planes on the stage or to add fun or drama to our story.

The main tools of the workshop will be fiberpoint, ball or fountain pens for the line work and watercolors or color pencils for coloring.

Into the deep (Luis)

The southern sun of Málaga summer produces sharp shadows that can provide an effective and dramatic setting for the urban scene; alternating layers of light and shadow produce the required depth that usually envelopes human action, and let the spot be put on the place of our desire. The goal of the workshop will be building an adequate scenery and filling it with life.

Constructing the scene: the power of different layers of shadows

A successful sketch invites you in; it introduces elements that act as a ‘bridge’ between the observer and the drawing. As actors do, these elements enter once the scene is already set, thus it is important to follow some order while drawing and leave a chance for the magic to play a part once you have started. Because lots of things are going to happen after you start, things that can not be anticipated and that surely will enrich the result. Things that will tell us more about a place and a time, not a single instant, but a whole series of events that follow each other while you are drawing and that can all be put together in the same sheet of paper.

Inviting you in: Making the observer part of the action portrayed and placing the focus on a desired place..

Capture the music of the city and let the energy flow…

In addition, the shadows of different architectural elements makes buildings ‘sing’, it is just a matter of capturing the rhythm and putting it on the paper. It is much better than getting lost in the detail, keep it simple! Let the pen flow… feel the energy, who said that line is only useful for outlining?

The tools required will be pen or fountain pen and a limited watercolour palette to enhance effects.

Мигель

После долгой карьеры рекламного креативщика в Испании и Италии Мигель несколько лет назад стал внештатным иллюстратором. Работа в течение всего дня с цифровыми носителями заставила его вернуться к живому прикосновению к этюднику, который в конце концов стал его основным средством самовыражения.

Луис, as an architect, learnt to draw on location in his since the first year of his studies and has always found drawing the best tool to understand spatial relationships in his work. On the other hand, he has always carried a sketchbook during his travels as a more efficient way to record than photography.

After finding Urban Sketchers, Luis discovered the pleasure of drawing outside with no preconceived objective and reading the USk manifesto, he feels specially sensitive to it, to the point of recording time and place, and he is transforming his sketching practice from single architectural sketches to understanding the city as a great stage where human activity takes place.
