In this class we will cover mark making techniques, perspective and drawing from observation to provide you with a well rounded set of drawing skills. We will learn how to render forms realistically and draw from observation more accurately. We will learn these skills through drawing still life and objects by using various drawing media (graphite, charcoal and ink).
