Sketching and Drawing for advanced beginners and beyond
When: Wednesday, September 14, 2022 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Alan Maurer will guide you through the essential skills needed to create a successful drawing.
To help give an appreciation and understanding of how a successful drawing (or work of art in almost any medium) will require:
-
an emotional connection to the subject of the drawing;
-
creative emphasis (exaggeration?) of elements of the subject (line, shape, color, light, value, composition, perspective, point of view, etc.);
-
and artistic license over details.
