Representational Drawing 2

Representational drawing from life is the basis for all artistic work, whether technical drawings, still lifes or other subjects. Objects can only be accurately reproduced if you are confident in your drawing skills, estimating proportions, and can depict plasticity through light and shadow.

This weekend, we will draw both man-made objects and naturally formed objects such as bones and plants. We will practice reducing complex objects to their essentials in order to structure and simplify their representation.
We will pay attention to aspects such as contrast, perspective, and texture, and use methods for effectively depicting light and shadow.

By the end of the course, you will be able to draw any collection of objects, large or small. The skills you acquire can be applied in advanced courses such as “Spatial Drawing/Perspective” and “Figure in Space.”

Material: a sketchbook, 10 sheets of paper size DIN A3 and A2 or equivalent, soft and medium-hard pencils (HB-B6), white eraser, kneaded eraser, sharpener, natural charcoal or charcoal pencils if available
