Description
Tuesdays, May 12 – June 9
10:00 am – 12:30 pm
This is a five week class.
This class explores the fundamentals of landscape drawing using graphite pencils and ink pens, with an emphasis on structure and observation. Designed for beginners but open to all levels, students will learn how to construct compelling scenes from the ground up.
We will focus on essential concepts such as composition, value, and perspective, learning how to organize a landscape so it feels balanced and intentional. Through guided exercises and finished drawings, students will develop confidence working in both pencil and ink—understanding when to build softly with graphite and when to commit to bold, expressive linework.
Throughout the course, we will explore a range of subjects, including natural landscapes, urban environments and seascapes. Each project is designed to build practical skills while encouraging personal interpretation and style.
By the end of the class, students will have a stronger grasp of how to simplify complex scenes, create depth, and bring landscapes to life using just line and value.
