Drawing: Using charcoal, students will learn how to draw what they see. Working from still-life compositions, the students learn a simple method of measuring elements to achieve accurate proportions. By studying how light affects form, correct value relationships are seen and learned. These skills are invaluable to both drawing and painting, and we will start this training in basic drawing. Fundamentals of perspective will be introduced.

Painting is an introduction to the materials, methods, and practice of oil painting. Beginners will learn about paints, canvas, brushes, mediums, etc. We will study color, composition, and paint application, working from life, by painting still life set-ups in the studio. The same concepts we study in drawing are applicable to the study of painting. In this class, we add the additional element of color. When ever possible, we will go outside to take advantage of the natural light.

Prerequisite: Drawing I, Painting I (or instructor review).

Learning to paint the landscape outdoors, on location, is challenging and fun. Using all of the skills acquired in basic drawing and basic painting, i.e., color, value, perspective and masses, we will add concepts of composition outdoors as well as atmospheric perspective.

Class will meet on location, 15 minutes before the class starts.

The human figure is a wonderfully challenging subject to draw. Figure Drawing will teach all of the basic drawing concepts, with the additional elements specific to figure drawing. These include figurative proportion, gesture, and some basic anatomical structure. Lecture, demonstration, and drawing from models will be the basic elements of instruction.

Students who are familiar with the information taught in Figure Drawing and Painting I, learn to paint the figure from draped and undraped models. Seeing and maintaining large relationships (staying in masses) will be emphasized, as will proportion.

Learning the basic proportions common to most human heads is the foundation for Head Drawing. Students are then taught how to measure individual spatial relationships for accurate placement of specific features. Emphasis is on large value relationships to create a sense of mass, rather than surface detail.

Information taught in Head Drawing, and basic painting skills are a pre-requisite for Head Painting. Emphasis will be on seeing proportion, value, and color. Seeing and maintaining large relationships will be a critical aspect of head painting, as this is how we create a sense of solidity and mass.
