CLASS: Let’s make better Pencil drawings and sketches! We can get SO much bolder and far more subtle by exploring the best of classic, modern, and contemporary techniques! We will experiment with traditional pencils as well some modern twists on traditional graphite materials and techniques. Designed to be suitable for near beginners with some previous experience in drawing to more advanced students seeking to strengthen or deepen their graphite drawing skills. We will have lots of demos and feedback to help everyone student achieve their goals in the class.

SAFETY: We do ask that if you have or suspect that you have a communicable illness that you remain home. If you believe you have been in contact with someone who is ill with a serious respiratory illness, we ask that you socially distance while in class and consider wearing a mask.

MISSING CLASS: If you do have to be out due to illness or any other reason, please let me know ahead of time about your situation as I may be able set up a digital link via Zoom or FaceTime so you can participate while class is on-going. Or I can simply record and share some of the class activities (presentation, demos, and fellow student’s work) from that session.
