Portrait SketchingThis workshop introduces participants to an enjoyable pastime, sketching people in the everyday world around us. Skeptics of their skills who say they "can't draw a stick figure" will gain confidence as well as a new hobby. Learn techniques and engage in practice of a skill that makes languishing in doctors waiting rooms and boring meetings ever so much more pleasant. Quick sketch stealth sketcher Mary Sterner Lawson, who has been wielding her ink pens and pencils since childhood, has shelves of filled notebooks in her studio, and enjoys sharing her craft.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORMARY STERNER LAWSON
Mary Sterner Lawson has been an exhibiting artist since the mid-eighties, working in watercolor, pen and ink, acrylic, clay, and graphite. For the Tallahassee Symphony Tour of Homes benefit in 2017 and 2018 she created ink and watercolor paintings of the featured houses. Her artwork has appeared on brochure covers for the Artist Series of Tallahassee and Voces Angelorum, and she frequently has donated drawings for worthy local events. Lawson’s illustrations of flora, fauna, and scenes appear throughout travel writer Terry Breen’s Alaska and Antarctica guidebooks. Her signed celebrity sketches and waiting room drawings have been on display in Leon County Public Library exhibit cases. Most recently Lawson taught watercolor aboard Royal Caribbean ships sailing in the Atlantic and Caribbean. Travels to China, Europe, and South America as well as journeys in the United States have provided abundant subject matter for her brushes and pens. Rows of sketchbooks in her studio attest to a favorite compulsive pastime, sketching—wherever she is, at home or abroad, in a restaurant, waiting room, car dealership, or post office line. |
