22ee3d2e

The skills you will gain in this class:

How to draw a simple scene with pastel
Accurate measuring techniques
Coloring and shading with pastel
How to add rich textures and details
How to add finishing touches that make the image stand out
Improving drawing accuracy

This course teaches a nice balance of the mechanics involved with making a beautiful landscape drawing in charcoal, but also having an interpretive, artistic mindset while doing it. It discusses what to focus on, embrace and likewise, abandon as you’re drawing. We will explore how to find the “art” in art-making, how to understand and effectively utilize some basic techniques, but be guided by the spirit of your subject. It is meant for the complete novice equipped with basic art materials. It is also meant to be a concise, efficient class that offers lots of great information in a small amount of time.

This is a great course if you want to learn measuring techniques for more accuracy in your drawing, or if you've ever been frustrated with pastel and want to acquire skills to make it smoother and more fun.

You will be carefully supported and guided through the entire process, from discussing which materials you will need, onto accurate measuring in order to replicate the image realistically. From there we will walk through how to add value including shading. When we are finished, you will walk away with a new set of skills you can use to create more beautiful drawings.

I hope you enjoy the course!
