If you think you can’t draw, or your drawing skills are limited because you don’t have “talent,” think again. This course will teach you to draw with confidence, so you can reclaim the love of drawing you had as a child, or discover it for the first time. Using many of the innovative concepts, methods, and tools developed by Betty Edwards, author of the bestselling Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, students will learn the skills needed to draw any object, person, or place with skill and enjoyment.

Students will learn and apply the five critical elements of drawing - edges, negative space, angles/proportion, light/shadow, and the perception of the whole (gestalt) — to quickly increase their ability. Sketchbooks will be encouraged, and students will have optional gentle assignments. The class will have a relaxed pace, although a lot of material will be covered. Students can choose to learn at a slower pace with instructor guidance.

This class is for adults and mature teens of all skill levels. All materials are included.

There is no class on November 30.
