This month's sketch session started out different. We had a brief workshop with examples of different types of sketches, and some tips and tricks to use in our own sketching exercises. We then applied what was learned to a photo of the Ponte Vecchio we all sketched together.

The seventh workshop in our series sought to contrast two methods of subject commonly used in creating art. Whether your work from Reference photos, direct observation, or some hybrid has long been a heated debate. With this workshop, we wanted to explore the various benefits and drawbacks of both methods. Attendees were asked to create two sketches, the first was from a photo reference of a still life scene and the second was from direct observation. During the review at the end of the workshop, the jury remained split on which method they preferred; perhaps this debate will never be settled, but the creative individuals at Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture will certainly continue to search.
This week we continued to subject ourselves to flashbacks of discomfort and frustration tackling the two-point perspective. As we continue to practice and learn together, the sketches get better and our skills continue to grow. Our goal is to gain confidence with our pen or pencil and create a community around sketching at Dreyfuss + Blackford.

Creating one-point perspective drawing is the bane of first year architecture student's existence. You may ask: Why would you subject yourself to revisiting that trauma? Communicating by sketch is one of the most visceral and enjoyable experiences we can have with clients and collaborators and a skill that must be honed through practice. Despite our flashbacks to first year, and dread, everyone enjoyed this experience and vowed to continue! Next class: Two-point perspective, twice the dread!
One of four weekly workshops on sketching techniques.
