In this two-day “Drawing Fundamentals” workshop with master teacher Nonie Gaines, you’ll experience realistic drawing as an essential foundation of your art! In this class open to ages 15 to adult, Nonie will teach an eight-step process for drawing three-dimensional subjects. The emphasis is on form, depth, value and texture, using a variety of techniques and materials. You will also learn basic composition, linear perspective, and observational drawing. The techniques you gain will build your confidence and skills – and give you a solid visual language to express your personal artistic vision.
