In this introductory online class to observational drawing, you will gain four key skills to help you create a successful drawing from life. In-class exercises will offer you a step-by-step approach designed to deconstruct life drawing from a still life that you will be guided to set up at home. The first hour of the class will be spent on demonstrations by the instructor and the second hour students will have a chance to work independently and share their work in progress with the instructor and the class.
