Hello and welcome to this class where we will be exploring five techniques that will help you to loosen up your approach to a new drawing subject, and will give you new ways to approach a new subject matter.

This class is great for both:

  • accomplished artists who are stuck in a drawing rut, and who are looking for new ways to approach their drawing subject, and
  • beginners who are new to drawing.

We are not going to be creating finished pieces - instead we will be getting over that 'fear of failure' by creating a series of warm up drawings and techniques that will help you approach your finished drawing in a brand new way.

The materials we will need are simple:

  • Something to draw ON
  • Something to draw WITH
  • SOMETHING to draw!

As we are getting over the fear of failure, you may as well grab a pen instead of a pencil - we won't be rubbing these out! These techniques are designed to take you out of your comfort zone - not to create final pieces. In many cases, what we draw won't look a lot like our subject: that's OK! No one else will see these drawings unless you want them to.
