Discover the essence of realism drawing through the “art of seeing.” In this class, you will hone your ability to observe keenly and gain the confidence to illustrate anything you envision. Develop essential skills in setting up your drawing, understanding materials, and mastering techniques that enhance your observational ability. Explore the art of accurate measurement with your eyes and gain insights into how light behaves, discerning the intricate patterns it forms. You’ll learn pencil strokes and visual strategies that bring depth and dimensionality to your drawings effortlessly.
