Description: Learn the fundamentals of drawing in this multi-session class. We will learn how to draw in a representational way, using close observation. Working from still life, we will learn essential concepts such as: perspective, composition, line, texture, positive & negative space, how to draw simple and complex objects, and how to work with dry mediums like pen and pencil. Students will also be encouraged to foster a sketchbook habit, which we will discuss in class. This class is intended for adults, and ages 16yo+.
