This 3 week class is an intermediate-level introduction to drawing suited for those
students with some drawing background, who are comfortable with the basic
drawing principles and media ( charcoal, conte, pencil etc.) and wish to further

drawing with exercises in still life and portraiture. Focus on developing
confidence and comfort in skillset will be a top priority throughout these
workshops.
Each class will involve demos and drawing exercises focused on page dynamics,
blind contour, and simple human anatomy lessons with respect to shapes +
proportion, observational skills and line quality. Also foundations of light and
shade with simple drapery studies.
A safe and comfortable learning environment is key to developing trust and
confidence in creative development. Critique and open discussion within the
class will be welcomed and encouraged.
