Draw a landmark from life in the busiest public square
“Sitting with a sketchbook in a crowded square makes you feel exposed at first. Then you realize watching the city take shape is the real reward.”
The Recipe
- Take a small notebook and pencil to the most active square or pedestrian thoroughfare near you.
- Sit facing an interesting facade, fountain, or statue, and sketch its outline for thirty continuous minutes.
- Ignore technique: focus on capturing proportions, light, and the people passing in front of it.
