Introduction to Still Life Drawing

Spend two nights creating a still life drawing with charcoal or graphite. The first night we will learn to draw objects using line, form, and proportion. On the second night, we will apply value, light, and shadow to our still life drawings. Learn how to draw reflections and objects placed in water using various drawing techniques. Work from provided still life objects or feel free to bring objects of personal interest to you.  

This 2-day workshop will take place from 6-8pm, WED, JAN 14 and THU JAN, 15 at The Hailey Classroom.
