Description
We will explore a variety of drawing techniques to help you become independent at drawing realistic art. Working mostly in black and white, we will explore contour drawings, observational drawing, value and shading, and proportions. In this session, we will focus on still-life and perspective drawing in particular. If you have always wanted to create realistic drawings, you will want to take this class.
