The Joy of Line Drawing in Urban Sketching with Janet Onofrey
Join an international community of artists that sketch from life.
Explore a variety of methods using lines in ink to create values and texture. We will focus on drawing, composition, perspective, techniques and materials, that will enhance your creative approach and expression. Drawing from life encourages focused observation and a new appreciation for the things, experiences and places in our lives. Some previous drawing skill is helpful.

residency in Provence, France and time in Barcelona and Paris. She
was awarded the South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual and Media
Artist Fellowship judged for her extensive body of work. Janet was
accepted into the Skopelos Foundation of Art Residency on Skopelos

Canada, The Netherlands, Spain and the Rockies, drawing and
painting, to capture a sense of place.
