Sketching for Beginners (Recorded Online Course)
Let's embark on a creative journey in my virtual art workshop, "Sketching for Beginners," where participants will explore the fundamental elements of sketching in a supportive and engaging environment. Over the course of two hours, attendees will dive into the basics of sketching materials, essential line and shading techniques, and the art of observation. Through hands-on exercises like still life sketching, gesture drawing, and introductory portraiture, beginners will gain practical experience and confidence in their sketching abilities. Whether you're just picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to refine your skills, my "Sketching for Beginners" workshop promises to help you build confidence in your sketching abilities and will help you foster artistic growth. Join me for this exploration into line, shape, shading, and so much more!
