California African American Museum

Artist Ernie Barnes’s autobiography reveals that he sketched constantly as a child, throughout his football career, and after. His energetic paintings were the result of his in-the-moment sketching technique developed over a lifetime. View Barnes’s sketches on display in Ernie Barnes: A Retrospective, and then try your hand at sketching in this workshop.
