Course Description:
There is a long history of artists exploring and developing ideas using the sketchbook. In this class, students will use the sketchbook to learn core drawing techniques. Using pencil, pen/ink, and watercolor, they will discover the ways sketchbooks can be used to create finished drawings as well as for brainstorming new works of art. Former students are welcome as we will explore new projects.
Course Description:
Using film instead of paper opens up new ways of using colored pencils. The smooth surface allows for less layering but more detail- making it ideal for fur and feather textures. The ability to work on both sides also gives depth of color ideal for botanical subjects. Discover the possibilities through experimentation and exploration before moving onto refined drawings.
Skill Level: Beginning/Intermediate
Course Description:
Practice drawing techniques via lectures, warm-up drawings, and longer finished poses.
