Learning To Draw (better)

A Drawing Class For Everyone March 17 – April 21, 2022

I am starting a hybrid drawing class Thursday afternoons at 1:00 – 3:30 at my studio. My studio has limited space for students, so people who want the in-person class will be accepted on a first-to-reserve- a-space basis; we can accomadate all the Zoomers who want to participate. The classes will start Thursday, March 17. The price is $70 per class, $250 for 4 classes, $360 for all six.

There are requests for Saturday morning classes for those who are unavailable Thursday afternoons. Please reply if you’d be interested in a Saturday morning class.

Using demonstrations from still-life and photographs, followed by individual and group critiques, students will learn a framework for drawing: descriptive shapes and forms, value, mark-making, composition and blending and shading. We will also get to know the tools of the trade: pencils, charcoal, brushes, inks, surfaces, and concepts.

Drawing can be learned. Learning to coordinate the eye, the mind and the hand to respond in unison becomes simpler than it may sound as you practice. If mistakes are not going to stop someone from trying again, I can teach them the skills needed to make challenging and gratifying drawings.

About mbwilsonart

I’ve been drawing, painting and sculpting for more than 50 years and teaching, drawing and painting for 20 years. As a teenager I began to study to be an illustrator where I had classical training in the fundamentals of drawing and painting realistically, which I still use in both my own work and is the basis of my teaching. After graduating from the Boston Museum School I set up a studio in Waltham, MA, where I still work.
