Drawing to Completion: Improve Your Painting by Drawing with Betsey MacDonald
Mondays, September 8, 15, 22, 29 – 1:00PM–4:00PM (4 classes)
Degas said, “If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.” I LOVE to draw! It’s meditative. It teaches me to better see and understand my subject. It forces me to think about value and how I can create the illusion of 3-dimensional form on a 2-dimensional surface just using different grays. In this class, we’ll confine ourselves to black and white but with a constant eye toward how our discoveries can be translated into color for our future paintings. We’ll draw to complete finished, quality pieces. We’ll use simple graphite, tortillons and erasers to create powerful, intriguing drawings. We’ll do one still life of our favorite, interesting variety of objects and one drawing from our own photos.
