Absolutely yes and it is encouraged. We will start with the basics of ink drawing and architecture perspective before guiding you step by step into the drawing itself.
Every artist has his own distinct way to approach to urban sketching. The beauty of this workshop is that it will offer you a fresh way to observe the world through Andrea’s ink drawing and watercolor style. Drawing together with Andrea will also give you new inspirations and shared drawing experience to further enrich your art journey.
Yes, if the workshop is fully booked you will be put on the waiting list for the next date.
Andrea Deng
Architect | Illustrator
Drawing has always been an important part of Andrea’s life since childhood.
As a professional architect he often need to express ideas using hand drawings, and so his drawings became more informative and visually appealing in order to catch the audience’s interest.
In parallel Andrea started to use sketchbooks to keep track of his personal works.
He is also a passionate drawing teacher with the goal to let people discover the world through hand drawings and urban sketching.
Reviews
Cristina G2024-07-01Molto soddisfatta della mia prima lezione online! Andrea è davvero bravo a spiegare, è molto gentile e mi ha messa subito a mio agio. Sicuramente parteciperò ad altre lezioni in futuro. Consigliatissimo!
Daniele Atzeni2024-06-09Andrea è un artista che sa il fatto suo e insegna in maniera chiara e precisa, molto alla mano e con il fatto che i workshop sono a numero ristretto si può avere un rapporto 1:1. Aperitivo post sessione per chiacchierare e spendere un paio d'ore in compagnia. Top!!
Lucrezia Alfieri2024-06-04Felicissima di aver partecipato a questo workshop, è stato utile, interessante e divertente. Quattro ore a disegnare con la stilografica, prima volta per me, che sono volate. Andrea è stato molto chiaro e preciso, spiegando e svelando trucchi del mestiere. Adatto a tutti. Esperienza da ripetere, altamente consigliato!
Gladys Escobar2024-06-02Workshop fantastico, spieghi benissimo, ho imparato la tecnica delle linee parallele! È ad approcciarmi con l’ink. Perfetta introduzione alla prospettiva. Altamente raccomandato!
Dario Villani2024-06-02Un workshop chiaro e molto istruttivo. Adatto anche ai principianti. Io sono ancora all'inizio nell'approccio al disegno dal vivo e sento veramente di aver fatto un passo avanti gigantesco!
