About this event
This beginning/intermediate level course in drawing designed to develop and expand one's visual awareness and perceptual acuity through the process of drawing from observation of rectilinear or organic forms. The course introduces and reviews drawing fundamentals. The goal is to acquire conceptual and technical skills necessary to translate three dimensional forms to a two-dimensional surface. Students learn methods for sensitively describing objects in terms of line, shape, volume, cross-contour, proportion, light logic, perspective, and compositional space. Also covered are fundamentals of pictorial space structure, aesthetics, content, and draftsmanship using still life and natural forms, working with pencil and charcoal.Supply list:• Basic Palette (cool)• *This limited palette is sufficient for most paintings– it is a good starting palette if you don’talready have oil paintsCERULEAN BLUECADMIUM LEMONULTRAMARINE BLUEALIZARIN CRIMSONTITANIUM WHITE (large tube)WINSOR RED (or Cadmium Red Medium)YELLOW OCHRERAW UMBERULTRAMARINE VIOLETVIRIDIANOptional: Burnt Sienna, Burnt UmberAnd 1 acrylic paint: Acrylic raw umber• A painting medium such as Galkyd, Liquin, or Neo Megilp.• Solvent (optional) Gamsol, or other odor-less turpentine substitute for thinning paint and cleanup.• baby oil or safflower oil (for brush clean up)NOTE: solvents (gamsol, turpentine, turpenoid etc...) are not absolutely necessary!
