During this five-week course, Students will grow steadily in their drawing skills with Daniel Rice using charcoal and graphite. Learning the basic skills of drawing can be done quickly and need not be daunting. You can do it!
From beginning and further on, Daniel Rice will show you how to “see, conceptualize, and render” your drawings subjects from still life and more. You will learn how to draw faster and with improved confidence — but with added sensitivity to the pace at which you personally learn best. At every “STEP” you will be encouraged!
See more information about this class below:
With the instructor providing demos each week, we start with basic drawing concepts and learn proven master’s techniques quickly. Dan will show you how to advance steadily without getting stuck in the things that hold so many would-be great artists back. You will want to take all three sections of Dan’s classes, from the beginning to the development of higher-level skills. At each level you will learn new abilities and find ways to become your personal best.
