About

Learn how to incorporate the fundamentals of perspective into your composition and layout of sketches, drawings, and paintings.

The first session will cover:

  • The components of perspective layout, including horizon line and vanishing points.
  • The artist’s point of view.
  • How to find these cardinal points in your field of view and organize your composition around these visual rules.
  • How to create a drawing of the room using one-point perspective.

The second session will cover creating drawings using two and then multiple vanishing points, and a still life setup in the studio.

Details

  • Experience level: Suitable for those just learning to draw and paint, as well as experienced artists who want to refine their skills. Some experience in drawing or painting is helpful. You must have a strong interest in learning to draw or in improving your skills.
  • Bring a notebook. All other materials will be provided. 

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
