This six-week in-person course is designed for students who have completed an introductory drawing class or have drawing experience of their own. Building upon foundational skills in charcoal and observational drawing, this course emphasizes refinement, design, and personal expression. Will also be focusing more on understanding and studying light and shadow.
Subjects will include still life, interior or exterior scenes/spaces, and clothed figure. Students will apply and learn more about proportions, value, and composition. Classes will include demonstrations, individual help/feedback, and of course dedicated drawing time!
