We will work on modeling skills, shading, and the basics of values in addition to introducing perspective & portraiture. This is a “next step” for students of Draw and Learn and a great introduction to the basics of observational drawing. All great artists are really good at drawing from life before anything else. Any kids interested in pursuing art more seriously as a hobby or a career will benefit greatly. |
