Drawing I is the follow-up course for Robert’s Drawing Fundamentals course. This course’s objective is to continue to build your “value” knowledge and the ability to create solid values within our drawings. Through three different exercises, your confidence in capturing what you see and rendering it on paper will strengthen. We will keep our subject matter reasonably simple in our still lifes, focusing on form and not textures. A focus on textures is in Drawing II.
This is a live online drawing course using Zoom Meeting Rooms. Robert will be working from his studio, where he has several cameras set up to help him give you the best learning experience from the comfort of your studio. You will be able to draw along with Robert during each lesson and ask Robert questions.
