Drawing 101
Adult Workshop (Age 16+) | This program is completed
2 Saturdays, 1/26 & 2/2, 1:00 - 4:00 pm
A drawing workshop for people who love to doodle. Explore drawing from spontaneous mark making and dreamlike impressions to stylization and realism as you transform your doodles into finished artworks. Through a series of drawing exercises, students will learn about shading, texture, value, and form. Draw with shapes as well as line. Use different drawing tools such as markers, pens, colored pencils, and charcoal to express yourself. Artists can repeat this course in order to continue to build skills and learn new techniques.
Beginners welcome!

- A couple of compressed charcoal sticks (not vine charcoal)
