Urban Illustration : Architecture, People & Cherished Objects

Devni Jayakody

WORKSHOP

Learn to capture the soul of Galle Fort through urban illustration with artist Devni Jayakody. This intermediate-level workshop focuses on developing observation skills and quick sketching techniques to portray the Fort’s unique character through its architecture, people, and cherished objects. Beginning with contour drawings and texture studies, you’ll progress to creating compositions that weave together the Fort’s distinctive buildings, daily life, and cultural elements. Perfect for those with basic drawing experience who wish to deepen their artistic practice and storytelling through urban sketching. Please bring your own materials: sketchbook, pencils, pens, and optionally watercolours or preferred medium.
