This class is online drawing class that will introduce students to drawing values (light and shadow) as well as shading techniques. Every class has a different still life setup (it can be fruits, cup of cappuccino, sea shells, flowers, rocks, mixed still life, etc.) Students will be watching me drawing a still life, listening to instructions and drawing their works. They will have an opportunity to ask questions and show their work in progress for my feedback if they would like to. I have two cameras, one is showing my table, so students can see the whole process. There is no previous experience required. Students will need drawing paper, graphite pencil (plus optional softer pencil like 4B /6B/8B), eraser (plus optional kneaded eraser), blending stump or paper towel, and pencil sharpener just in case.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello and welcome! My name is Anna Starkova, I'm an artist, a mother of two (9 and 5 years old) and a wife.
Art has always been my biggest passion since childhood. I love working in various techniques like oil and acrylic painting, watercolors, and graphite drawing. Recently, I have started exploring the full potential watercolor pencils as well. Here at Outschool, I'm offering various one-time classes and 4-week courses (several one-time classes grouped together) in watercolor pencil art technique, graphite drawing and acrylic painting.
I have my own art studio in Needham, MA (Greater Boston Area) where I offer group and individual art lessons for children (age 4+) and adults. I enjoy working with my students and creating new artworks, exploring new themes with them and mastering different techniques. I show and teach all that I have learned during my own art process.
I feel honored to receive several awards and to be selected to participate in many juried art exhibitions throughout New England as well as in New York City. I am also honored to have my paintings in private collections all around the world: USA, Russia, UK, Belgium, Sweden, Australia, UAE, India, and Japan. You can see examples of my art here: www.starkovagallery.com
I'm looking forward to creating with you more!Reviews
