Develop and build on your drawing skills with confidence and intention.

Learn to see the big shapes.

Define values to create definition and depth.

Explore the possibilities of mark-making and texture with graphite.

If you are a painter, these experiences all translate to your work on the easel. If you are just starting out on your art journey, drawing is an essential foundation.
Class is open to all levels of drawing experience.

 During our 6 Friday morning sessions we will cover:

  • materials – a wide range of graphite tools from powdered form to pencils to solid sticks

  • line, shading, value and texture

  • composition

  • special tips and techniques for special effects

  • the power of the eraser as a subtractive drawing tool

  • papers & surfaces for drawing

  • developing a sketchbook practice

What you need to bring:

  • paper for drawing (bring what you have on hand and we'll review) Papers I like are Strathmore's 400 series and Legion Paper's Stonehenge 

  • pencils (bring what you have) - I will be supplying you with two pencils

  • tape (for taping down your paper to a drawing board)

  • erasers - kneaded rubber eraser and a larger firm eraser
