You would love to draw, but you don't want to learn all those drawing principles and anatomy lessons? But you nevertheless want to learn, how to sketch quickly an object, an animal or a person? Well, then this 20-minute class will be perfect for you!

Barbara Baumann is an Austrian artist and illustrator. She is teaching drawing classes since 2015 and is enthusiastic about showing the students how they could express themselves by drawing and finding their own style of drawing.

She will show you how to start on a plain sheet of paper. You will learn different methods how to approach by using a minimum of material. No need to prepare long time in advance – you can take any sheet of paper and a pen or a pencil - and a watch or an hourglass.

FOR WHOM IS THIS COURSE?

This class is designed for those, who would like to start drawing in a more practically oriented way. It’s a hands-on class based on the concept of the muscle memory. Your hand will learn the lines by sketching regularly. No need for anatomy principles or extensive drawing principles.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

The basic idea behind this class is to show you an approach how you can start drawing and how you can develop your drawing style. It’s a kick-off class for your drawing progress! On the one hand, you will learn how a drawing can be structured and how you can integrate proportion aspects as well as specific characteristics of an object or an animal. On the other hand, you will get a feeling for sketching freely. Both approaches are very important for drawing. The course is completed by the presentation of a drawing method which can be quickly integrated in your daily life and will have an enormous impact on your drawing skills: the 3 Minutes Drawing.
