A good drawing is the basis of all artwork. This class is suitable for complete beginners, as well as those who need to return to the basics. Students will concentrate on all aspects of drawing including composition, contour, perspective, and symmetry. We will bring our drawings to life with charcoal pencils, learning about values as we do. The class will work from still life objects set up by the instructor. The relaxed and nurturing atmosphere created by Laura’s teaching style will take all of the fear out of drawing!

Supply List:

• 11 x 14 Drawing pad
• Graphite Pencils
• Charcoal Pencils (hard, medium, and soft)
• Kneaded eraser
• Blending tortillion
