Contour Drawing Deep Dive With Artist: Armin Mersmann
Instructed by: Armin Mersmann
Dates: Dec. 10th-11th
Times: 10am-4pm
Member: $306, Non Member: $360
Artists including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and David Hockney have used the expressive power of line to create some of their most iconic images. Contour drawing employs thick and thin lines, lost and found edges and keen observation to capture movement and light.
Line is fundamental to the arts, and contour drawing is the essence of description with line without shading. It is a beautiful and expressive art form which helps artists learn to see form with great accuracy. Students will study a variety of contour drawing styles and techniques in this two-day workshop.
