Our first Friday adult workshop will be with instructor Sylvia Vigliani, who will lead the group for a Drink & Draw Beyond Stick Figures. No experience is necessary, and all art supplies will be provided.
The first exercise will be an "Upside Down Drawing," which teaches participants to learn to draw by seeing Shapes, Spaces and their Relationships (rather than identify and represent the subject according to preconceived notions and symbols for recognizable imagery).
The second exercise will be a "Blind Contour Drawing," which teaches participants to look closely and record descriptive detail. It requires the participant to not look at their drawing until finished. After loosening up with this technique, we will try a modified contour drawing where the focus is still on keen observation, but with the added ability to look at your subject.
We will then put these two techniques together, and come up with a proportionally accurate and expressive drawing!
We will supply both white and red vino at all Friday evening workshops! All Art & Wine Time workshops will be Friday evenings from 6-8pm, unless otherwise specified.
