I am "Delighted" to teach the "Realistic Drawing Club" here at Outschool!
Over 850 Learners have attended this class!
I will teach the basics of drawing realism step by step in an easy-to-understand way. I will explain how to create the dimension of a shape using lines, shading, and highlights. I will explain how to draw using "old master techniques". I will develop exercises for learners to practice drawing, giving them skills to draw realism.
I will provide all objects or subjects to be drawn through photographs. You will not need to bring anything except a pencil, paper, and an eraser

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from The San Francisco Art Institute
My name is Lynda Diamond. I teach art to children, teens and adults. My painting and drawing classes focus on an exploration of line, colour and content drawing objects such as flowers or fruit to abstract geometric shapes. My Art History classes explore the different ways art has evolved.
I hold a BFA in painting from The San Francisco Art Institute. I attended the San Francisco Art Institute as a scholarship student. I have been teaching children, teens and adults painting and drawing for fourteen years. As an independent teacher, I offer a variety of class options. These options are one-day classes, ongoing classes, eight-week courses and Flex- classes. I often teach art privately. I have taught college-level painting classes at Nova Scotia Community College.
I have also taught ESL to kids in China for two years
My art classes are always light-hearted in spirit.
I believe that learning to paint and draw is great fun! My art students always want to return to more classes because my classes are so enjoyable.
Here's an interesting note about me. I wanted to study with a great painter that lives in Norway. One day I flew to Norway. I luckily watched this master painter paint and learned so much from him. I will always be grateful for this experience and the skills I had learned.
