In this 6-week course, you'll continue honing your skills at drawing realistically from direct observation of the world around us. We’ll practice drawing ordinary objects, still-life arrangements, rooms, plants, people, self-portraits, and maybe even outdoors (weather permitting). We’ll work in graphite pencil, charcoal, Conté, and chalk pastel.
Compared to a beginner drawing class, we’ll devote more energy to honing the skills you’ve already begun developing. We’ll make longer drawings and more-detailed drawings. We’ll explore more drawing media. We’ll practice seeing color and using it in various modes (e.g., expressive, realistic). And we’ll practice “challenging” subjects like people, hands, and portraits.
We’ll start with a basics refresher day, practicing line drawing and skills for seeing and drawing accurate proportions (e.g., pencil sighting, relative measuring), as well as a review of shading skills. After that, we’ll dive into new challenges!
This Drawing More course is suitable for a wide range of participants, from near-beginners with a little experience to folks who want to dust off their drawing skills and get back into practice!
