Take your drawings to the next level, expand beyond the line, discover realistic textures as you learn what to leave in and what to leave out in your drawing. Each week you will approach a different subject and explore how to create textures and realism with graphite. Reference materials will be supplied in the form of either colour photos or 3D objects. 

Subjects will include: 

• Fabrics and drapery- silks, wools and how the fabric falls over the human form 
• Wood and wood textures including bark, sawn wood and flaking paint 
• Plastics and metals/shiny objects 
• Ropes and fibrous wound materials 
• Rocks and natural forms 
• Darks, lights, tones and how light and shade affect texture 

Demonstrations of technique and one-on-one instruction feature in Linda’s classes.
