The Key to Sketching Well (4 wk series, July 9-30) 11-1:30pm

The truth about sketching is that ANYONE can do it. You just need the right teacher, support and time with a pencil in your hand.  This beginner class series will introduce you to drawing from the ground up with a focus on basic skills that will make you much more comfortable with any subject. This series includes 4, 2 hour sessions, each of which will focus on a specific drawing skills with the goal of teaching you how to really see what is in front of you.

We will focus on:

• Training our brains to really see angles and lines of things
• Figuring out shortcuts to get the drawing right.
• Making decisions about what goes where and how they relate to each other
• Managing perspective well enough to make things “look right”

Basic materials will be provided (pencil and sketchbook)

Great adjunct book for this class is (not included in the cost of the class):
