Workshop with Jenny Jing Zhang

Sunday, June 1 ■ 2-4pm

One Scene, Three Takes

One Scene, Three Takes invites you to explore urban sketching through three focused watercolor vignettes—each just like a coaster size. In this playful, structured workshop, you'll break down one scene (Chicago streetscape) into three creative studies: mastering composition with negative space, experimenting with a bold color first, line second process, and capturing contrast through light and shadow. We’ll wrap up with a group “throwdown,” assembling everyone’s sketches into a colorful urban mosaic that highlights our unique perspectives.
