Fridays 10 – 1 pm: Oct 23, Oct 30, Nov 6, Nov 13, Nov 20
Each class will consist of a half-hour demonstration followed by drawing time and teacher guidance. We will learn how to make progress with the quality of line, texture, value, highlights and shading, space and perspective, composition. We will try different tools, techniques and use of different papers for you to find the most rewarding effects, and find your own style in drawing technique and expression.
There will be a real composition (flowers, pots, fruit, musical instruments, etc) for you to draw, or you can bring 1 or 2 reference photos. I do recommend working from real life.
Materials list:
1. Drawing pad (9×12 minimum) – bigger is better. (Canson, Strathmore or other brands) 2. Drawing pencils (2H, HB, B, 2B, 4, and 6B) (Blick, Fable Castle, or other) 3.

If you can’t find the materials, no worries. I’ll have enough if you need them. You’ll be able to try my materials and see if you want to invest in drawing materials. If you have any questions, contact Marylise Reilly-Fajal at madamereillyfajal@gmail.com
