and intricacy of natural subjects such as leaves, seashells, and minerals. Using a variety of materials, including pencils, coloured pencils, charcoal, and markers, we'll explore different techniques to create texture and depth in our drawings.
Throughout the class, we'll emphasize the importance of close observation, examining each subject in detail to understand its unique characteristics and structure.
