Day 1. Landscape
Sketching and drawing are the languages of painting. Those thumbnail drawings define how much information you are going to communicate on your painting. The goal of this course is to establish value and composition in your drawing. We are going to use lines, shapes and values in exchange for the complex scenes or objects you want to capture. In this workshop we are going to pull out all the countless photos in your phone into value sketches. Let’s go back to the time and place and capture the details you wanted to remember!

Day 2. Figure Drawing with emphasis on a Gesture Drawing
Drawing figures can be learned by everyone. If you are afraid of drawing figures and would like to
overcome that fear, this workshop is for you. Also if you want more confidence and skill drawing
figures exquisitely, this workshop is for you as well. We are going to do lots of practice of gesture
drawing. (Based on the Loomis method of construction) The pure joy of creating something
overcomes fear and the most wonderful drawing just flows out when you are enjoying yourself.
You don’t have to impress everyone with your skills to make a good drawing. Knowing the
anatomy helps to understand the human body however, we are not going to get too caught up in
the technique but to focus on the basic forms and express moments. It’s really fun to draw
humans, especially when you can abstract the character with your own memory and experiences!
