Class Experience
Intermediate Level
Students will be drawing animals with pencils. This is a beginner-friendly to advanced drawing class. I show how to really draw the shapes and lines in the pictures we draw - with emphasis on proportion. The first half of class is spent drawing and identifying shadows and their values. The second half of class is all about watercolor techniques and applying the correct shading to create realistic form. Even though we are learning technical skills, I love to make it personal for each learner...

✏️ Pencil (any pencil will work but I recommend art pencils) ⓧ Eraser (any kind but I highly recommend a "kneaded eraser" if possible) 🎨 Watercolors (DO NOT use "dollar store" watercolors - but a $5-$10 set will work great!) 🖌 Brushes (Sable brushes work best but any brush that has bendy bristles will work - not the stiff plastic one in a "dollar" set) 📒 Watercolor Paper (any kind) 😜 Masking tape (optional - but it helps to tape down the watercolor paper so it doesn't warp when the water dries) 💈 Hairdryer (optional - but helps to dry the layers of paint and speed up the process) 🌈 Colored pencils (optional - students can add details at the end easily with colored pencils)
