Description :

This class is about drawing objects from life, focusing on observation. Students will study basic drawing concepts like line management, structure, tonal value, proportions, spatial composition, and textures. We will start from simple studies to more complex compositions. This class, given in person, is for all levels, and no prior drawing skills are required, but developing a personal style will be encouraged. For technical accuracy, we will use graphite pencils only. This class is for beginners, drawing enthusiasts, and advanced artists interested in learning different methodologies.
