Still Life Drawing
Tuesdays, October 3-24 and November 7-14, 6:30pm-8pm
Presented by Don Statham
In this course students will be introduced to drawing from direct observation of a still life using only a pencil and eraser. The eraser is as important a tool as the pencil in keeping the drawing open to change. Through gesture, and weight of line, students learn how to master the technical skills to accurately describe simple and complex forms in an organized composition. We will look to artists such as Cezanne, Giacometti and Morandi to learn how they mastered the art of drawing.
Materials list:
- drawing pad (9x12” or 11”x14”)
- (2) #2 pencils
- gum erasers and regular eraser
- pencil sharpener
$210 (six weeks)
