Drawing: Learn Perspective

 

Drawing: Learn Perspective Kay Brathol-Hostvet

 

One of the most frustrating challenges for beginner and intermediate artists is getting the perspective right in a drawing or painting. Our skills might allow us to render a believable landscape or still life, but when we try to do an interior view of a room, or a street scene we realize that we don’t know how to make it look right. This workshop will show you the “secrets” of linear perspective.  We’ll also look at point-of-view, atmospheric perspective, and other techniques that help create the illusion of depth on a 2D surface. You will create several drawings in class to reinforce what you learn from the lecture, numerous handouts, and demonstrations, with a focus on process over product.  Sun. April 24 , 10:00-4:00  $105/$5 materials

Collage: Fun and Freedom  Jackie Hefty  

Papers, paint, glue and space to spread out. What better ingredients for fun.  Utilizing the elements of design, add some texture, sprinkle some contrasting or harmonious color, add a little tension or perhaps a soothing flow, highlight with a metallic, and you are good to go. If only. . . You are invited to come, explore, play and relax. Small little jewels or large wall statements, what is your comfort level?   Sat. April 30 , 1 - 5  $60/$10 materials
