Meet Daniel Winterbottom! We are excited to host his workshop this Sunday at ARTspot. Professor of Landscape Architecture University of Washington. His love of urban wandering results in a spontaneous passion for urban sketching and reportage. Traveling frequently, he has found subjects that reappear from continent to continent while documenting the local nuances. He is fascinated by natural phenomena, reflectivity, light and shadow, and disappearance. In his body of work thematic narrative emerges, often accompanied by personal commentary. He embraces stylistic exploration and refinement. He was awarded an Urban Sketchers Reportage Grant for 2021 for his project “The Shifting Landscapes of Despair, Hope, Survival and Persistence“ Follow Daniel @koolbreeeeeeze Sketching Alleyways: The Unseen Urban Environment 🗓 Sunday, August 3 | 10am–1:30pm 📍 ARTspot Edmonds | $140 👉 Sign up at artspotedmonds.com #UrbanSketchers #USkSeattle #EdmondsSketchers #OnLocationSketching #ArtspotEdmonds #SketchbookLove #ArchitecturalSketching #UrbanSketching #DanielWinterbottom #EdmondsWorkshops #SketchingAlleys #CitySketches #ARTspotEdmonds #PNWArtists #SketchWithUs #OnLocationDrawing

Daniel Winterbottom’s Sketching Alleyways: The Unseen Urban Environment 🗓 Sunday, August 3 | 10am–1:30pm 📍 ARTspot Edmonds | $140 His Sketcher Fest workshop sold out—now’s your chance to explore the hidden textures of the city with a master of urban observation. Urban sketching, as its name suggests reveals the characteristics that define the “city” crowds of people, density of the built environment, and the messy textures of the urban environment. The urban ally, is a service corridor that is the backside of our urban fabric, a space that is filled with the service necessities, garbage containers, electrical and communication utility lines, garages, and parked cars. This workshop provides an alternative approach to sketching front yards and commercial corridors. Alleys can be textural with fencing, vegetation, and rough, messy landscapes. It’s also rather simple to comprehend as most are single-point perspectives. We will be exploring these spaces through sketching using a variety of media, pencil, pen and ink, and colored pencil and watercolor. 👉 Sign up at https://artspotedmonds.com/workshops/winterbottom832025 Space is limited! #UrbanSketching #DanielWinterbottom #EdmondsWorkshops #SketchingAlleys #edmondssketchers #usk #uskseattle #CitySketches #ARTspotEdmonds #PNWArtists #SketchWithUs #OnLocationDrawing
