Begin drawing or increase your knowledge and skills at your own pace. Instruction will be available as desired. We will cover basic shapes, light, shadows, and shading.
For beginners, Mara will set up some basic shapes and a simple still life, and be available to demonstrate as needed. Intermediate and advanced students may bring ongoing projects, references, and objects to draw.
We will talk about perspective, texture, composition, focal points, thumbnail drawings, etc. Mara will also bring a tablet so we can look at drawings by great artists for information and inspiration. Realistic and abstract drawings will both be encouraged and all subject matter is allowed.
Fee: $40 per person. REGISTER BELOW.
Students are responsible for bringing all their own references, materials, and supplies.
