This online class will teach you how to observe and draw objects from life in a realistic style, a fundamental skill for working in any media including painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Drawing is one of the oldest and most universal ways of making art. It’s the most simplified of the artforms and in many ways the most pure. Whether you’re sketching a doodle or drawing a large and detailed work, drawing is a way to explore the world around you and also yourself. Drawing requires relatively few materials to get started, but there’s a lot of great drawing media out there to explore.
