Travel Sketching and Painting for Beginners | INTRO | Online course
Instructor: Maya Hum
Contact: maya@mayahum.com
Description:
Have you always wanted to be able to sketch your surroundings or urban/rural landscapes with ease? This course serves as a fun introduction to a variety of sketching and painting techniques. Projects will teach students how to draw proportionally and with perspective. As well as many tips and tricks on how to make your travel sketching experience (whether you are indoors or outside) a breeze! Pencils, ink, and watercolours will be explored in this course.
Materials:
For the first day you will need:
· Paper to draw on.
· Regular HB pencil with sharpener. Optional: different grades of drawing pencils such as 2B or Softer
· Eraser
· Soft rag, tissue, paper towel and/or cotton ball
· Optional: painter’s tape
Materials for the rest of the course (I will review these materials on the first lesson to help you decide what you want to purchase for your travel kit!) It might seem a lot, but I just wrote a lot of details!
· 1 Watercolour or mixed media book (any size – this is your preference): paper weight 130 – 140lb is suitable. Examples:
Pentalic Multimedia Sketchbook, Moleskin watercolour, or use loose pieces of watercolour paper
· Ruler (I find a small clear ruler is great for your travel kit, a triangle ruler works well too!)
· At least 1 Ink black waterproof drawing pen. Examples: Faber Castell, Pigma Micron, Sharpie black marker. You can also explore using a set of different sizes if you wish.
· View finder (Will teach you how to make your own on first day of class)
Recommended to have, but not mandatory
· Mechanical pencil 0.5 size lead and/or Mechanical pencil 0.7 lead with refills
· Grey kneadable eraser.
· Bulldog clips (large paper clips) – if planning on working outdoors
Watercolour supplies:
· Container to hold water. If traveling use something with a tight lid.
· Small set of watercolors. Look for a set that has its own mixing palette as its cover. Example brands include: Van gogh, Winsor and Newton, Pebio, Koi, and many more.
· Watercolour brush: one round brush size 8 or larger. It is optional to have an assortment of brushes and sizes. Optional: water brushes
· scrap paper
· paper towels or rags
Other items that are not mandatory, but if you have these, have them nearby: xacto knife or small utility knife, Painter's tape or masking tape, oil pastels, rubbing alcohol, salt , dish soap, painter’s tape
If you are going outside:
· Hat, Sunscreen, Sunglasses, Water bottle (to keep you hydrated!)
· Portable chair or small folded towel or blanket
· Travel bag
· I recommend a bag to hold dry materials, and a bag for wet materials, which can fit together into your travel bag

Let's explore the joy of creating free and vital portraits in dry media, acrylic, oil and watercolour. David's approach balances control and technique with immediacy and spontaneity and demonstrates how these can be woven together to capture personality as well as likeness. There will be a focus on observation and technique along with the exploration of the portrait as a means of expression.
