In this peony drawing class you will learn how to take a complex subject and create a beautiful and realistic graphite drawing. It is my goal that you will learn to enjoy the process and that you will grow in your understanding of how to draw. It is my belief that creating art is a matter of breaking things down into the simplest shapes first and then adding layers of refinement.

You start the drawing project with a simple geometric block in, then you begin refining the line drawing by adding three dimensional tone, and then finally you add beautiful texture to the drawing with hatching.

It is my pleasure to teach this class because I love drawing and how it informs my entire creative process. Your confidence will grow with as you improve your drawing skills.

There is so much beauty in the world and through drawing you get to love and admire and connect with nature and flowers in a whole new way.

At the end of this class I hope you have a drawing that you are proud of and that you have connected with these peony flowers in a meaningful way.

Let’s draw!
