Learn to Draw What You See

This class meets once a week for four sessions, starting February 1. In this beginner Zoom drawing class, you will learn how to draw what you see.  Using basic household objects as a source, we will cover topics such as shape, line, grayscale, shading, lighting, negative, and positive space. All you really need to get started is a pencil and paper and a way to angle your paper. Taping paper to a wall will work fine, or a drawing board or an easel is good too. Recommended for ages 12 and up. If you have any questions please email lhammond799@gmail.com.

WHEN: Monday; May 3, 10, 17, 24, 2021

TIME: 6:30 to 8:00pm via Zoom

FEE: $82.00 for GWAC members / $102.00 for non-members.

Supplies

The least of what you will need is a #2 pencil and some paper (copy paper is fine) but if you are really interested in purchasing some supplies you could try:

Artists drawing pencils H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B

Kneaded rubber eraser

Drawing pad 11 x 14

Exacto blade or pencil sharpener

Viewfinder – or you can use an old slide holder or make one from a piece of heavy paper.

Tape (to tape your paper to a wall)
