Realist Drawing- Still life, Landscapes, Objects

You can't win if you don't play !  You CAN draw with practice, patience, guidance and the right tools.  Using black drawing pencils, vine charcoal sticks and an eraser, you will practice first the best way to make marks, along with learning to "see" and the techniques of how to draw lines, perspective, shapes, angles, negative space, light and shading.  You will also learn proportion and positioning and the basics and nuances of the objects in front of you.  Fluidity and stationary components, and how to portray energy in your work.  You will be so proud of the way you'll begin to see the details, relation and positioning of the objects as they become compositions and designs.  You'll learn to unravel the puzzle that is within traits of the negative space.  Perfecting the art of drawing the  object's features by practicing in 3 dimensions is the only way to go !  We'll draw from life using chosen objects, light and the uniqueness of your "voice" in which your work becomes exclusively YOURS !!  

Karen Charbonneau Zukas has been drawing since childhood.  Her renditions have won her full scholarships to several prestigious places, but she chose the School of the Museum of Fine Arts along with Tufts Univ. to learn the finest details of artistry and drawing.  She hasn't stopped since, and through life's distractions and endless other skill building experiences, she's never put drawing aside for long.  

Materials for drawing outside of a pad of paper are included, but I recommend that you get yourself a box of mixed Faber Castell drawing pencils from Amazon - less than $10 and a kneaded eraser to start.
