Draw Amazing Things With Confidence in Only 8 Weeks FLEX CLASS

In this 8 week Flex Class you will get access to a new video every week and the student will work at their own pace.  There will be no live meeting.  I will communicate with students in the classroom and provide help and support throughout the 8 week course. 

       Anyone can Learn to draw.  As long as the student has a desire to learn drawing, I can teach them how.
If you are interested in my Ongoing Weekly Sketchbook Class ( https://outschool.com/classes/draw-with-me-weekly-sketchbook-drawings-vxIuhTIr ) but are not sure if you or your student is ready for intermediate drawings,  this drawing course is the place to start, even if you are already drawing, still begin here to get fundamentals.

Basics: Lines and Shapes
We will start with simple lines using graphite pencils in different ways to achieve different effects.
We will move on to basic shapes,  loosely sketching shapes of all kinds, introducing geometric and organic shapes.  We will then begin to put these shapes together to create simple drawings.
Simple Drawings: Birds
I absolutely love to teach drawing with the beautiful subject of birds!! They are one of my favorite subjects in my own artwork, and the perfect way to learn drawing skills. Birds are simple and easy to draw yet detailed and intricate enough to inspire an amazing finished drawing. After students have completed 3 or 4 birds directed by me they will pick from several reference photos and complete a bird of their choosing.
Final Drawings
We will finish up the last couple classes with completed drawings of subjects that allow us to expand on the techniques and skills being learned.
ach day we will start class with warm ups and exercises that begin the training of seeing like an artist. We will then move in to our drawing. At the end of class students will be given an assignment to practice during the week on their own. This outside class practice will help student to use the skills they learned and enhance their progress.
Who is this class for?
Both beginners and those who have been drawing on their own and could use some fundamental training will benefit from this class.

Students will need a set of Graphite Pencils for this class, I will teach them how to use these pencils.
I believe that good quality supplies and beautiful subjects help inspire young artists to create and to feel confident in their work.
