In this course we will strengthen our abilities as draftspeople, the bread and butter of an artist! No building can stand without solid foundations and no figurative painting without solid understanding of the fundamentals of drawing. We will learn the age-old tradition of drawing as the previous art masters had before us, and we will capitalize on the discoveries they had made.
What you will learn:
- Composition
- Construction
- Values and shading
- Lighting and shadow shapes
- Much more
Enrolling in the Monthly package (4 sessions) ensures 1 makeup class.
