Intermediate Drawing with Ciel Duke

Intermediate Drawing Class with Ciel Duke


Spring is in the air and it's time to brush up on your drawing skills! This intermediate class will focus on a continuation of all the basics.....composition, proportion, drawing techniques, value, creating realism, etc..... as you experiment with a variety of mediums. Week 1 emphasizes the importance of good drawing skills, using several tricks to help you get the drawing 'right'. Week 2 uses charcoal pencil to develop a strong sense of chiaroscuro within a still life. Week 3 introduces the art of Scratchboard, which was featured in a popular demonstration by visiting artist Shone Chacko at one of our 2019 Arts & Crafts meetings. Week 4 introduces color in a vignette floral composition using soft pastels.


Each class produces a finished work, suitable for framing. This is an intermediate level class, suitable for people who have basic drawing skills and who want to expand their expertise in skill, subject matter, and varying art mediums. All supplies are included in the cost of the class. You need only to bring your enthusiasm!
