This course welcomes students of all skill levels and focuses on developing both artistic vision and technical accuracy. You’ll learn to observe the world more closely and translate what you see onto paper with confidence. We’ll explore a range of drawing techniques—from contour and gesture drawing to more refined methods—and practice combining them effectively. Along the way, we’ll study light and shadow to create lifelike, expressive drawings that capture the depth and nuance of real-world scenes.
