Getting Some Perspective at Oil and Cotton

Drawing: Kyle's Perspective
Wednesdays, September 12-October 3, 6:30-9pm
Instructor: Kyle Hobratschk

If you have always wanted to learn to draw this is the class for you. Kyle will share tips and tricks for drawing with perspective. This is not your perspective lesson from grade school that taught to draw radiating lines from a center point and horizon line. This class will cover a far wider, more applicable, and enjoyable set of drawing perspective strategies. 

Students will draw from both large still lifes and photographs of structural subjects. Techniques for quick rendering in perspective without the need for rulers or compasses will compliment essential drawing practices in pencil, ink and gesso. REGISTER TODAY!!!

Proportion & Figure Drawing at Oil and Cotton

Instructor: Gina Garza
September 9 through October 21
6 Week Series :: Sundays :: 2-5pm

We have added many new classes to our fall and winter calender. Figure drawing will be offered in two new six week series classes. The first series, Proportion & Figure Drawing begins September 9 and runs through October 21. Students will be given the opportunity to learn the most vital tool/technique in figure drawing - proportion. Proportion is the most difficult component to master in completing an anatomical drawing of the figure. Translating a live model to paper of a different size is an even greater challenge. In this workshop series students will learn techniques such as sighting and organizational line; both will aid in building a strong universal drawing foundation.
Supplies available in Oil and Cotton shop.
