Summary

This class is especially for beginners, anyone who thinks they “can’t draw” or who needs to gain skills in drawing for other applications. We will be learning to see form, value, and proportions correctly, as well as the principles of perspective. Participants will develop confidence when making marks, learning to impart gesture and movement in the subject, learn different techniques of creating the illusion of surface textures such as transparent and reflective surfaces, and understand how to create a composition that keeps the viewer engaged with the work.
