In this “live” online class, you will be guided through some basic techniques for doing observational drawing based on your own 3D objects. All you need is some paper, a pencil, an eraser, and access to items around your house. We will do a series of drawing exercises, beginning with “sketching” techniques and lead into some tips for refining your drawings, by focusing on contours. This class is open to a variety of age levels and is geared toward beginners. There will be opportunities for you to submit questions throughout, and a chance to show off your work at the end (if you choose)!
