Drawing For Beginners
Join us at LMN Wedge Studio & Gallery for a fun and immersive 8-week class where you can learn or referesh your experience with the basics of observational drawing! This class is perfect for those who have always wanted to pick up a pencil and start creating but didn't know where to begin. This is also great for advanced beginners who may have taken a class in the past, or need to shake off the dust.
This class is designed as a series, however, we offer a small number of drop-in tickets to this course per class meeting. The majority of tickets are reserved for a small group of ongoing students who will take the whole 8-week course- You'll save money per class this way. We welcome you!
Our talented instructor- Laura Noble- will guide you through different observational techniques and mark-making approaches, helping you build confidence and improve your skills. Whether you're a complete novice or just looking to brush up on your drawing abilities, this class is perfect for you. We will learn the basics of drawing light on form, composition, and using graphite or charcoal and stillife and interior scenes.
Supplies: Bring your own drawing pad and basic sketching supplies (for the pad, 9"x12" or larger- 14"x17" or 18"x24" is ideal. Graphite pencils or woodless pencils in 4B-9B are recommended, as well as erasers and a sharpener). For recurring students taking the whole course, we will introduce other drawing mediums and techiniques, such as colored pencil, ballpoint pen, and conte pencil. Good erasers and a pencil sharpener are also useful.
Going beyond the first class, I will introduce and deepen our use of various drawing mediums (including pencil, charcoal or conté, and colored pencil) to create compelling images of observed subjects, including stillife, self portrait, clothed figures, architecture, and room interiors. This class will introduce students, and prepare them for drawing from live models (our Intro to Figure Drawing Course will build on this. In addition, or Intermediate Drawing Course will move students further into the subtleties and techniques of drawing, including linear perspective, anatomy, and developing longer drawings from reference and sketches).
Come and unleash your creativity in a supportive and encouraging environment. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to kickstart your artistic journey!
