*Guest Instructor* San Francisco's Outer Sunset Houses with Baptiste Benet
Couldn't load pickup availability
Tuesday, November 12, 5:00pm - 6:30pm PT
This class is focused on drawing houses from our San Francisco’s Outer Sunset neighborhood (which is also Case For Making’s neighborhood!). Baptiste will provide you with pictures of his favorite houses in the Outer Sunset, guide you as you draw them on relatively small paper (4x6 inches), and paint them using watercolor.
We will discuss perspective, light, shadows, and the artist’s decision in picturing (or not) certain details. You will be able to leverage my inspiration pictures to create a structured drawing, and will experience more freedom as we decide what color that house should be (fun fact: whatever color you choose, there is probably a house in our neighborhood that resembles your creation.)
After this class, you will know more about one- and two-point perspective, learn to create volume thanks to shadows and light representation, and learn to alternate between constraints and freedom.
Join zoom 15 minutes early (4:45pm PT) for an informal meet and greet with the 5:05pm PT so that everyone has plenty of time to join!
SUGGESTED MATERIALS:
- Watercolor paper (4x6” or bigger)
- Micron size 2
- Brushes; ideally sizes 2, 4 and 6. Everything can be made with a size 4 only.
- Watercolor set: ideally some flashy colors (personal favorites include CFM Coral, CFM Rose, and CFM Fluorescent Violet), any blue you like for painting skies, and optionally some grays and blacks.
- Palette for mixing colors
- Water cup
ABOUT BAPTISTE
I started painting in 2017, and my favorite subjects are European and Californian landscapes, as well as San Francisco houses. I didn’t study art but have an MSc in applied mathematics! I recently started painting smaller formats with any inspiration that comes my way: houses, vegetables, landscapes, animals. I teach watercolor twice a month in an art studio in San Francisco.
