Details
Travel and draw/paint the world from the comfort of your own home using Google Street View! In these monthly free 90 minute sessions hosted on Zoom courtesy of Gage Academy, Eleanor Doughty and Jenny Adam will bring you to 4 sketchable locations on a theme, which you can capture in the medium of your choice for around 20 minutes each. We will explore diverse areas, from busy cities to remote wilderness.
The demo artist this month will be announced soon.

Tag #StreetViewWorldTour on Instagram to share your work.
You can see and contribute to a map of all the places we've sketched previously here: https://bit.ly/3Mh3jP3

Each session will feature a guest artist who will do a 20-30 minute demo for us. We hope to learn from their approach! You can watch our past demos here.


Our demo artist for this month is Jenny "Jing" Zhang (jennymouse2003 on IG), travel sketcher extraordinaire from Chicago. Known for her well-designed compositions and sketches of her home city as well as of Italy, China, and more, we're excited to see her watercolor demo! See her portfolio here: jingsketchbook.com




Times:
First Thursday of every month. 10 AM - 11:45 PM PST (5-6:45 pm GMT)



Instructions:
At each street view stop, we will all draw what we see there. You can focus on a small part of the image or try and capture the whole thing. The links to the view will be shared, so you can get a different view from what we have, if you like.
We will have one warm up location (10 minutes) and fill the rest of the session with three 20 minute sketches.
Participants are encouraged, but not required, to share their work with the rest of the Zoom group.




Supplies the participants will need to have:
Any supplies you want to use are great. We have had people make interesting work using all sorts of materials from simple ball point pens, to acrylic paint markers, to digital media -- and everything in between!
We recommend working at a paper size around 5x7" for each location, since each drawing will be no more than 20 minutes.
