Dynamic Figure Drawing

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• Before learning about value ranges and experimenting with your pencils, see how to use and care for your sketching materials.
• Examine the differences between the light and dark value ranges, as well as how light and shadows interact to provide depth to your paintings.
• Then, with Shane's form exercise, undertake a powerful self-learning practise that anyone may apply to enhance visual acuity.
• With a series of practical activities, you may improve your visual memory skills, which Shane deems vital for bringing movement to your drawings.
• Then begin your four-hour dynamic figure drawing.
• Once you've completed your drawing, get Shane's guidance on how to secure it and create a certificate of authenticity for it.
