Foundational Drawing 6-week Artist Series
September 22, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
SOLD OUT.
Starts Friday, September 22nd (Fridays from 9AM-Noon for six weeks.)
Foundational Drawing is designed for improving drawing skills for any level of artist. Over this six-week series of classes we will discuss the tent pole principles of more successful (and repeatable) drawing, as well as techniques you might not have previously tried and materials that could open your eyes to new forms of expression. Whether your goal is to draw finished artwork, to improve your drawing in order to become a better painter, or simply to draw with more confidence, Foundational Drawing will showcase one of art’s fundamental skills and help you achieve a visual fluency with this unique form of communication.
Non-members: $250 for 6 weeks. Members: $200.
Fee does not include materials.
What to bring for the first class: Mixed-Media sketchbook approximately 11×14, no smaller than 8.5×11 (Most brands are acceptable but prefer it not to be Borden and Riley). Also, a couple of drawing pencils of different softness within the range of H to 4B, and a double ended brush pen such as the Tombow Dual Brush Pen in dark grey or black. The instructor will let you know if additional materials need to be purchased as the series progresses.
NOTE: Masks are optional in this series.
About the instructor: A lifelong passion for drawing led artist Christopher Magnuson to painting in watercolor, a medium that allows the drawing underneath to directly inform the finished product. His command of line work and energetic, expressive drawing style elevate the drawing to an equal partnership with the paint, in landscapes that depict the familiar, recognizable and sometimes unconventional beauty of Maine.
