Acerca de esta clase
Are you ready to improve your artwork? This class will introduce you to essential drawing pencil techniques, focusing on value, an art element that helps create illusions of depth, form, mood, and atmosphere.
Designed for artists of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, you will explore the concept of value through examples from master artists and my creations. We will engage in three hands-on exercises/projects, each lasting approximately 20 minutes. I encourage you to draw from observation, as this practice is vital for mastering the art of drawing, building your confidence, and improving your ability to “see."
Join me in this exciting class with important drawing techniques and art skills!
I have been a university fine art professor for over 34 years and a professional artist, teaching thousands of students. I combine my extensive knowledge of art education with a straightforward approach to help students learn and understand the essentials of art.
Art Skills you will learn:
- Importance of Value as an Art Element
- Drawing Techniques: Gesture, Contour, Cross-contour, hatching, cross-hatching
- Examples of Master artists using drawing techniques effectively
- Working with erasers as a tool
- Mark making

Contrast - Value: 3-D, mood, atmosphere, and mystery
- Working from observation

I am confident that my unique fine art teaching methods will help you develop and 'find' your creative artistic gift.
I incorporate the same fine art methods that I taught in college for over 34 years, yet I modify the art exercises to be fast-paced, easy to understand, and simple to create. The exercises are all 'hands-on'. This allows you to really explore and experiment with the art methods while having fun!

Final Project: Value as Form
You will need a "roundish "subject matter set up with a light source for this final project. No photos are needed because working from observation is imperative to learning art. This project takes approximately 20 minutes. If you need to take breaks, you can maintain your drawing speed. Keep looking at your subject matter, "seeing," and improving as you enhance your drawing skills.
Patience and practice are the keys to success in art. Have fun!


Project Instructions:
1. Choose a 'roundish' item to be your subject matter to draw.
2. Draw from observation.
3. Use all the drawing techniques that you learned in class.
4. Use all nine values from the value scale that you created.
5. Draw what you "see" and include various effects, such as highlights and shading, to create the illusion of a three-dimensional form with a light source.
6. I will draw an 'onion' ( approximately 20 minutes in real time) as a demonstration to help you with this project.
7. Draw your "own "subject matter/form and be amazed by what you can do!
I would love to see your final project drawing. Don't forget to post your drawing(s) in the 'Project Gallery'. Thanks.
Example: I drew an Onion "in real time" as a demonstration.
