I will introduce you to a new way to see, sketch and capture impressions QUICKLY!
Learn how to keep a travel sketchbook, and how to SEE in SHAPES, rather than lines and contours...(nothing wrong with lines, but you already see those!)
We explore new drawing media, too...I bring lots of my own stuff for you to try.
Location: Joel's Coffee House, Lakeline Blvd., Austin, TX. Bring a friend, enjoy fun coffees and Joel's new salad and sandwich menu, along with the usual great handmade chocolates....oh yes, and we will sketch like crazy!

Email V.... for specific questions vvaughan8@yahoo.com
ITINERARY: DRAFT
WORKSHOP LOCATIONS will all be on or near
the Conejos River, between Rocky Mountain Lodge and Antonito. This is a 30 mile
span, but we will only go to one general area a day, and not do a lot of
driving once we get there.
Three FULL DAYS will be divided into two daily sessions. Two half day sessions on the first and last days. Our sessions will
include Artist Demonstrations by V….Vaughan, some hand-outs, brief discussion
and theory instruction while V…. paints. An entire session or two will be
devoted to SKETCHING: working either on canvas or in sketchbooks. Perspective
Problems will be tackled! Capturing impressions QUICKLY… drawing without lines…I
have a LOT to say about sketching!!!
The locations have wonderful variety.
Things you will choose from: Mountain Vistas, River Color, Warm GREENS, Big Monsoon Skies, Sage Brush Meadows,
Dark GREENS, Old Churches, Crumbled Adobe, Barns, Dude Ranch Corrals, Light
GREENS, Cattle, Calves, Horses and Foals,
Cowboys and Cowgirls, and Cool GREENS.
A SPECIAL TOPIC I ALWAYS COVER IS HOW WE
SEE LIGHT, and
WHAT IS COLOR, ANYWAY? We learn a lot about these by intense observation at the extreme ends of the day: SUNRISE and SUNSET. I have planned this class to coincide with the FULL MOON, so we will also observe and paint MOONRISE AND MOONSET, which will happen at the same time as the sunrise/sunset! It is a FASCINATING study and is sure to cause a leap forward in your painting progress, if you have never studied such things…I HAVE FUN WITH IT, TOO! Having taught high school artists for over 20 years, I know how to keep it simple, so that you can do what you like to do most….PAINT!!!
