The importance of drawing in good painting or as a craft itself is essential to the artist.  During the Renaissance, "The Holy Trinity" was sometimes used as a reference to refer to the three most important elements that contribute to the pass or fail of a painting, they are Drawing, Design and Values. 

Join a small group of like minded peers interested in cracking the codes to good drawing. We will meet weekly in a friendly art gallery setting, learning and practicing the fundamenmtals of draftsmanship.  Through lecture, demonstration, exercises and study, students will be equipped with a broad understanding of drawing priciples.  

We will cover:

* The five types of light
* Light & The three objects theory
* Gestural (Center line)
* Drawing for landscape painters
* Right-brain drawing
* Site - size and academic drawing
* Kinetic expressive drawing
* The Envelope, Diagramatic lines, The Unit and Negative shapes.
* Notan and thumbnail sketching
