Whether you're picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to your sketchbook, this 4 week series (Jan, 13, 20, 27, Feb, 3 from 6 pm-8 pm) will take you step-by-step through the building blocks of drawing—starting with how we see, and ending with how we reinterpret what we see.
Presenting the World
In this classic drawing class, we’ll move from sketches to more developed representational drawings—working on composition, shape relationships, and refining what we see into dynamic finished pieces.
This class is best for students with observational drawing experience, preferably with modeled drawing. If you have any questions about whether this class is right for you, please get in touch at hello@thatcreativespace.org
Students will receive a material list a week before the class start date.
