Power of the Pencil (or fifty shades of gray)

Hi All

With this new session I want to make sure viewers know how the art classes work.

                     Each class is individual, so no previous class is necessary.                  

               I like everyone to feel comfortable with whatever skill they bring.

        If you're already an accomplished artist, I hope to help hone your skills.

If you have never picked up a pencil, I hope to show you how to draw a really cool line!

Last week we created some drawings using 1 of 3 color schemes:             

                            monochromatic, analogous and complimentary.              

                   I am always pleased an amazed with what my students come up with.        

                                       I set out a variety of fruits and vegetables and they drew, painted and had fun with the colors of the foods using a variety of design and composition along with color.

                           One day, I'll remember to take pictures of their work!

                       

This week we will work with pencil and paper. Sounds simple, but I want to stretch the imagination with a practice using shading techniques. 50 shades of gray - power of the pencil.

                   Amazing what can be done using darks, lights and negative space.                                 

                                              I look forward to seeing you there!
