Artist Kelly Foss

2023 Workshop 1

Drawing What You See AND What You Don’t

Started March 6th, 2023
In this 4-part series, artist Kelly Foss will improve students’ ability to draw realism but not be limited by it. One of the best things about making art is taking control of your creative choices. The first lesson about drawing your hand, and the second lesson about drawing a statue will help students build solid drawing techniques, enabling them to better draw what they see. In lesson three and four, students will be shown how to envision new life to their artworks, drawing by dreaming and design.
