Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner - Advanced Level
Unlock the artist within you in just 30 days with our engaging video class, “Learn to Draw in 30 Days,” led by the experienced and friendly artist, Paul Richmond. With over two decades of teaching experience, Paul has crafted a series of 10-minute daily exercises that distill the essence of drawing into bite-sized lessons that are both fun and educational.

What You’ll Learn:

• Fundamentals of Drawing: Master the basics and start seeing the world through the eyes of an artist.
• Daily Practice: Experience the remarkable improvement in your skills with focused, daily exercises.
• Diverse Techniques: From blind contour drawing to expressive ink techniques, explore a variety of methods.
• Perspective Drawing: Conquer one, two, and three-point perspectives to bring depth to your art.

Course Features:

• Engaging Exercises: Each lesson is designed to be light-hearted and enjoyable, ensuring you’ll want to come back day after day.
• Comprehensive Curriculum: Covering everything from technical skills to creative expression, this class is perfect for beginners or as a refresher.
• Interactive Learning: Paul’s approachable style makes learning accessible and entertaining.

There will be no live meeting for this class. This course consists of 30 10-minute video lessons. Each week, five new lessons will be released, and students can participate on their own schedule, pausing the videos as much as needed to learn at their own pace. Students are encouraged to share their artwork and join in discussions on the class page. The course takes six weeks to complete. Paul will interact with students who share their artwork each week, providing feedback, encouragement, and support within two days of student submissions.

Materials:
You are welcome to work with any materials you'd like, but here's a list of everything Paul will be using in this series:
• Drawing pencil set (4H-4B)
• Kneaded eraser
• Charcoal pencil set
• Micron pens
• Sketchbook

Learning Goals

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in drawing and a sketchbook full of your progress and creativity. Join us on this artistic journey and witness your transformation into a confident artist!
