Can't wait to see you all this summer for these two exciting workshops - Drawing Skills and Understanding Color.......we have a lot to cover and I think you'll enjoy all the information you'll receive that can be applied to any paintings or drawings you are currently working on. I would like to give you all a solid basis from which to work. We are all "Solution Finders" "Problem Solvers"- we are trying to find the answers as we look at something 3D and try to recreate it on a 2D piece of paper or canvas and make it look 3D! 

The Friday classes are completely full but we have room in the Saturday Classes! 

After I hear from you I will send a supply list for the class/or classes you are attending as well as an invoice from Paypal. 

You will get hand outs in every class and everyone will be working on the same thing in class! 

Here are some of the things you will learn in each class:

2 point perspective

Creating Volume/Form with Value

Drawing a Standard Head correctly
