Drawing is a skill that can take years to master. Drawing is a foundational skill in good painting. Truly great drawing, beautiful in and of itself, uses refined and sensitive line and stands exquisitely on its own merits. Drawing for painting has a different purpose. Proportion, perspective, massing, and value shapes all take precedence over beautiful line quality. The brush, loaded with paint, will obscure the drawing underneath. The drawing needs to be good, and accurate, before laying in the paint, however. The purpose of this three-day workshop is to give you tools, strategies, and drawing fundamentals, to improve your drawing skills and to better design your paintings.
Supply list and syllabus will be available and emailed to registrants several weeks before the workshop begins in April 2025.
