Private Drawing Skills: 8 week series

Drawing is a beautiful medium in itself and is a necessary skill in every art medium whether it is painting, sculpture, printing, etc.  This class series will include 8, 2-hour sessions, each of which will focus on a specific foundation drawing skill with the goal of teaching you how to really see what is in front of you.  Each lunchtime session is different and will cover a multitude of elements to aid in creating a realistic drawing.

We will focus on:

• Training our brains to really see angles and lines so we draw what is there rather than what we think is there.
• Creating the illusion of light and form. Working with shadowing to add a 3rd dimension to a 2 dimensional piece of paper.
• Drawing tips for figures, cars, boats and more.
• Refining your work for more sophistication.
• Understanding the rules of perspective, 1, 2 and 3 point perspective.
• Working with different drawing materials…pencil, charcoal, pen, ink, etc.
• Working with portraits…sketching a believable face.
• The secret to drawing anything! It’s in the shapes of light and dark.

All materials will be provided and all levels of expertise are welcome.

Cancellation Policy: Students will be refunded in full up to one week prior to the class date. No refunds will be offered within a week of the beginning of the series.
