Drawing for Depth Workshop - HB In-Person
This class is full. Please click the add to waitlist button below.
A piece of paper is flat. We will explore ways to make that flat paper appear to have depth. In class, we will work with pastels on paper. Focus will be on exercises to help develop various ways of seeing depth and to translate that vision onto the page. We are not going to attempt to make works of art. Rather we will develop practical skills for creating a sense of depth. These basics of manipulating the picture plane can later be applied to your own work, or to the appreciation of the works of other artists past and present. Instructor will provide hard pastels and paper. Students may take home the pastels at the end of the course. Materials provided. Born and raised in Denver, CO. Fee: $75.00
