Drawing From Direct Observation
Summer Youth | Available
This drawing class will focus on the importance of observing and having your subject directly in front of you. Students will appreciate how much they can learn and improve by simply taking the time to observe and enjoy their drawing subjects from life and nature.
Pencil sketches, thumbnails of simple still lives will bring our images to life! Charcoal will also be explored and is a particularly fun and forgiving material that allows for a lot of experimentation.
Painting, drawing, sketching and simply putting ink on paper is soothing and therapeutic. At the end of the course, students will have made a few pieces of art they enjoy and can share with loved ones.
Students will work inside the studio and with easels in the patio area outside by the river.
Please come prepared with hats, sunscreen and water bottles.
There is a $4 registration fee included in tuition.
Members will have the $4 deducted from tuition.
This class is held in the Jewelry Studio which is beneath the Gallery.
There will be a set of steps to walk down.
Please note that classes at Brookfield Craft Center must meet a minimum number of 2 registrations for the class to run. Students will be notified within a week's notice whether their class will be held. If the class is canceled due to low enrollment, students may request to be transferred to another class or be refunded in full.
