This drawing course will cover all the most important fundamentals of drawing. The class will learn how to draw with various mediums and learn how to use them and archive your work for longevity. The course primarily will go through the various techniques that are the foundation of all drawing. We will cover line, shape, value, form, perspective and all the various imperial methods and scientific ways to break down structure to build well drafted drawings. This class will be an excellent way to improve your painting composition and improve and open new doors to possible new processes in making art. On the first day of the course we will draw mainly with just pencil for the lesson. I will have extra materials for those of you that have not purchased everything. I will not supply paper. You must come with your own drawing pad.
Note: If you wish to work on 18×24 size pad, then you will want to have a drawing board.
