Class 1: Drawing Methodologies

In our first class together I will show you several non-traditional approaches to drawing that will sharpen your technical skills, increase hand-eye coordination, loosen up your mark and keep your engagement and focus strong. All exercises will help to build up your repertoire, and give you a multitude of ways to engage with drawing long after the class. 

Materials required: Sketchbook, 2B pencil, ruler.
