The Figure and Animals in Black and White
Class | Available (Membership Required)
How many times have you wished for the confidence to draw your pet, or the figure in the landscape? This class will give you the skills you need to bring this challenge down to size. Geared for the novice or experienced artist, Shauna will give you the tools you need to achieve the next level in your artistic achievement, with no subject out of reach. .
A positive, effective, and inspirational teacher, Shauna begins with an informative demonstration, describing each step and thought process as she develops a drawing from concept, composition, and development to the final resolution. In subsequent classes you will learn techniques that will make your drawing more efficient, accurate, and especially, enjoyable. Anatomy, positive and negative space, shadow, light –even how to see in a more accurate way – all will be included in this comprehensive class.
