Hollywood Forever sketching class with Winston Chappell

October is right around the corner, so it’s time for the ICAA Southern California’s signature Halloween & Dia de Los Muertos field sketching class at the iconic Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Join us for drawing among some of Hollywood’s most famous deceased and their classically inspired “forever homes”. You are welcome to choose whether to make measured drawings or to make illustrative, free hand sketches. Or both.

Architects have used the sketchbook to record historical artifact in both representational sketches evoking three dimensions and carefully measured drawings drawn to scale. The elaborate tombs at Hollywood Forever provide excellent, modestly scaled subjects for students to practice documenting and capturing either Classical or Egyptian detail.

The class will be led by architect Winston Chappell, and will introduce the student to a method of sketchbook drawing that is focused on accurately measured drawings of architectural details, drawn-to-scale in a sketchbook.

Winston Chappell graduated from Harvard University and California Institute of the Arts. Following college, he worked as a designer/builder of custom residences with a specialty in the restoration of historic properties, eventually focusing exclusively on design. His work has appeared in Architectural Digest and has been included in the New Blood 101 and Millennium Models exhibitions at the Pacific Design Center. Since 2005, he has been active in the ICAA Southern California, serving on the Education Committee and the Board of Directors.

Festive attire is welcome, but optional!
