Color and Composition
Beginning Drawing
"Michele is absolutely fluent in her media. The city, the connection between my husband and daughter, the truth of their facial expressions and body language captures their relationship perfectly. Michele understood my daughter and husband and perfectly represented the love they share. She has made a painting that goes beyond a visual memory of the time. The image comes alive every time I look at it."
—Rina

Beginning Drawing
This course is designed to give students a solid foundation in the fundamentals of drawing. The skills necessary to render a subject three-dimensionally will be taught through a variety of exercises using still life and eventually the model. Observational techniques, composition and different artistic approaches will be explored as students use a variety of mediums to render the subject.
This course is open to beginners with little or no previous drawing experience and is an excellent refresher for the artist who wants to review basic principles or improve their skill level with a particular drawing medium.
