City Sketching with Gavin Snider 

This is a recording of our Live Demo, City Sketching with Gavin Snider!
In this demo, Gavin focused on sketching the quintessential architecture of Brooklyn, specifically the brownstone. He demonstrated how he builds up a watercolor painting from the blank page, “carving out” the painting with increasing levels of detail. Learn about composition using negative space, applying light and shadow, and approaching architectural and landscape elements in a painting.
Gavin Snider lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, where he paints to slow down the world and draws to better understand the places and people around him. With a background in architecture, much of Gavin’s work focuses on buildings and cityscapes. A few times a week, he picks a location-whether a famous landmark or an unfamiliar neighborhood-packs up a notebook, and goes to paint. In a way, his paintings are a form of urbanism, the study of city life.
Thank you for watching!
