In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, participants will explore the art of capturing people through quick watercolor and ink sketches with Ottavia Huang. We’ll practice observing gestures, posture, and movement to bring everyday moments to life on paper. Perfect for beginners and experienced sketchers alike, this session encourages loose, expressive drawing and the joy of sketching people in the moment.

Supply list:

- A watercolor sketchbook (I usually use a smaller travel sketchbook 5”x7” or 6"x8") or watercolor papers (Bockingford, Strathmore 400 series, or any brand that you are comfortable with). Note: find ones with at least 300gsm/140lb to prevent paper from buckling
- A pencil
- An eraser
- A waterproof pen (I usually use Unipin fineliner 0.1 black). Micron 03 will work too.
- Watercolor brushes (small 2-6 or medium 8-12, or any size(s) that you usually work with). I love using water brushes (size M and L)
- A palette for color mixing
- Watercolor set - you can use either the 12-color tube set or half-pan set- (I usually use a Cotman half-pan set)
- A container (for the water), a rag/piece of cloth, paper towels
