Join local sketcher and watercolor artist, Karen Beauprie, as she takes you out in the neighborhoods of Old Town Key West surrounding Williams Hall to sketch “en plein air”, which is French for outdoors. Karen will teach you how to “see” and sketch the beauty of the architecture, landscape, and people here and to capture it all on paper using a variety of materials. Come learn with her for one class or for all of them! Please bring your own supplies, listed below, including a lightweight chair.
Suggested materials are listed below:
#4B pencil or #9 mechanical pencil and eraser
waterproof pen; Micron, Faber Castell, Pilot, etc, with a fine to medium tip
pad of paper, or sketchbook, minimum of 5”x8”; if you want to add watercolor, be sure the paper is at least 90lb and accepts mixed media.
clipboard or board for your lap
two clips, such as bull dogs, to hold down the sketchbook to the board
small watercolor kit, a small round brush, and either a cup for water and water, or a water brush (Japanese, light blue handle that holds water). I will bring samples of small watercolor kits to the first class for you to try. If you want to add color, you can also use colored pencils or watercolor pencils.
