Foundational Drawing and Sketching

In this class we will use a sketchbook to hone in on daily practice to increase dexterity skill sets. We will discipline with ballpoint pen drawings.

Foundational  drawing concepts like proportions, and value organizing will be demonstrated.

A variety of subject matters will be covered such as landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, portraits, and still life. 

Class is held at the HIGHLAND COMMUNITY CENTER.
