Private Music Lessons
Whether a beginner or an avid artist, this workshop will provide exercises in strengthening your observational drawing skills. You will learn new ways to view and interpret the world around us, discover how to make compositional choices, and depict form, light and shadow. We will be working from life, drawing objects in our environment, learning that to draw something is to truly know and see it. With mostly pencil and charcoal, we will focus on the use of line, mark, and value for ways to add depth and interest to your work. A combination of group and individual instruction in a supportive atmosphere will help students develop at their own pace. Returning students are encouraged to participate to further advance their observational drawing skills. A materials list can be found here.
