How do you Begin to Draw-ANYTHING?
Saturdays April 25, May 2, 9, 16 from 9:30am - 12pm. Take one class or take them all and improve your skills! BEYOND STICK FIGURES - With the basic material of pencil, charcoal, and paper you will learn how to see and capture the 'that object / scene in front of you. The class time will focus on mastering basic line work, simple shapes (circles, squares, triangles), and light, loose sketching to build hand-eye coordination and confidence. Start by drawing from reference, keeping lines light for easy corrections, and practicing daily to develop control and observation skills rather than immediate perfection. You will enjoy the satisfaction of skill building exercises with only a few sessions. Instructor Nicora Gangi $60 MountDoraArt.org
