AC407 Sketching for Beginners

About this event

Instructor: Allison Guan

In this beginner’s drawing class, you will first be introduced to the 9 Steps of Shading Techniques, and this will be followed by how to see a still-life drawing composition as a whole rather than focusing on each object individually. Students will learn how to shade and add lights to the spaces between and around objects. Subjects will include a variety of different forms and textures.
