We will be exploring the basic concepts of drawing using line, tone, and proportions as key elements to creating believable, realistic still-lives. How to create various textures, and understanding how to create a sense of light in your work will also be discussed. We will start with simple line drawing, and then move to more complex drawing.

After years of experimentation with photos and photo composing in my paintings, I am now offering this 5 Day workshop revealing how to avoid the pitfalls of working from them, and take advantage of working from 2D to 2D.
Understand how to build light and form into your images, and get exact proportions. How to build atmosphere in as well! Photo distortion is a real thing, and how to recognize and correct it. We will work in a step-by-step process; starting with underpaintings and working to a highly resolved finish. Please provide one digital photo, from which you would like to work.

Looking forward to teaching this new class.
