Beginner Figure Drawing with Janet Horton

Description

This beginner figure drawing course will give students an opportunity to learn the basics of line and gestural drawing using the figure as your subject.  Focus will be on creating three-dimensional realistic imagery using two-dimensional media such as charcoal and pastel.  Techniques on shading, elements of art and how to create a strong composition will be covered during this three-day course.  Developing a creative composition through daily sketches will provide resources for students as they begin to create using their own drawing style. Sketches will be reviewed each day and discussed.
