New Drawing Course Online – for complete beginners

I hope this will be a NEW exciting online drawing course, WAYS TO DRAW, destined mostly to beginners although if you have some previous experience and want to review themes, you'll be more than welcome.

Each week, I'll be showing some examples then we'll draw something after a reference image. We will be seeing shapes, directions, proportions, values, and all the elements of the visual language that can be useful to construct our work... Over time, we will discover various techniques and explore different creative activities to keep on improving our skills.

Among the possible media to start with, we´ll be using: charcoal, graphite pencils, to later pass to sanguine and other chalk pastels, pastel pencils, ballpen, oil pastels, Indian/Chinese ink. Obviously this will be gradual and we will see in advance when it will be necessary to get a new material, you won't have to buy everything at the beginning and never as an obligation. We will start with regular charcoal or a 2B graphite pencil.

In the classes we will watch some works of art, example, maybe I will make a little demonstration on my camera if necessary, then you will be drawing the rest of the time.

Every class is different, live on zoom, NOT recorded previously. Of course, you will have the chance to show your work on camera or send a photo thru email if you want to. Each class may last a little longer than one hour, depending on how many persons are registered, though the vacancies will be very few per group.

Usually I don’t do step-by-step demonstrations, as i said before but I can do some exception depending on the activity. I explain, give tips, show examples and answer all questions. I make “corrections” but you have to use your creativity to do the work. I mean you don't have to copy what I do. This way you are learning all the time.

We will work a lot on basic sketching and drawing to later do more advanced studies. And, at some point we will explore the art of painting.

Among the subjects to portray, we will explore still lifes, landscapes, animals, human figures and portraits as surely much more... If you like to work more on abstraction and imaginary images, as classes go by, I might split the group to be able to work more specifically with each one.

The more you can dedicate, will help you to sooner enhance your skills and create stunning artworks. Don't miss this opportunity to unleash your artistic potential.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to draw or paint?

In these series of classes I've been doing lately you don't need to. And for this one in particular NO, you don't! it's destined to complete beginners.

Do I need professional materials?

Not at all. Normally I recommend starting an activity with simple and inexpensive materials that you mught have, and perhaps over time, if you like a certain technique we learn in a class, you can get better quality materials.

Can I use my own photos to draw/paint from?

For this class I recommend we draw from the images I will share

How much should I pay?

Check the description on each ticket. Each class has different options, prices, fees. All are very accesible prices.

Organized by

Visual Arts Teacher working on online classes since 2020. I'm doing a series of Drawing and Painting Classes on Zoom which I call WAYS TO DRAW AND PAINT - WTDP - , with diverse subjects as still lifes, landscapes, animals, portraits and the whole human figure and also we work with different materials (graphite, charcoal, watercolors, colored pencils, pastels, tempera-gouache, oil, acrylics, collage and more. Some are stand alone classes, some others are weekly courses. These classes are in English language are intended mostly for beginning students, otherwise it will be announced as for intermediate/advanced students. Usually we are very few in each session, so you can ask questions and show your work on camera to get some feedback. <@dibujofranco> gmail / instagram / facebook / blogspot
