Details:

A drawing class for all levels, from first timers to experienced craftsmen. This class, taught by Stacy Andrews-Inglorion, is designed to sharpen drawing ability and technique, and will feature the Charles Bargue method. Charles Bargue was a French artist in the mid to late 19th century, who developed an easier way to learn to draw by drawing copies from casts and lithographs, before drawing directly from nature. Experienced artists can still explore and gain a lot from these sessions. We will use one of his drawings to draw from as we talk about light/shadow, values (gradients of light to dark), lines, accuracy of drawing, proportion, and so much more.
