You can draw! It’s just a matter of developing the right set of skills. If you’ve wanted to add drawings or illustrations to your calligraphy, but think you can’t draw, or need to review, this class is for you!
Drawing is the backbone of calligraphy and painting. Learning to draw advances both.
Through a series of demonstrations and exercises designed with calligraphers in mind, you will gain confidence in your drawing ability and improve your calligraphy at the same time! We will focus on learning to see and getting that down on paper in various ways for a variety of effects from gestural sketching to more realistic illustration. We will explore form, some color theory and a little design/composition to help you integrate text and drawing.
Please note: We will not be drawing portraits or anything scary like that.
Ability Level: All
Experience Needed: None.
