Over the years I have had the privilege of witnessing many individuals learn to draw for the first time as their eyes opened to a new way of seeing the world around them. After these classes, I have found myself wanting to take my students beyond the contours of their newly found sight, and into seeing values and three-dimensional form. Creating convincing values and textures has always been my favorite aspect of the drawing process. Lets spend the day together as I share with you all the “shading” skills I have learned over the years. This class is for those who have never been introduced to these skills and techniques, as well as those who wish to further their own drawing techniques.

In this class we will explore in-depth a variety of pencil and pen techniques for applying value to our drawings, thus increasing the illusion of three-dimensional form. Some of these modeling techniques include expressive line qualities, value relationships with the use of continuous tone, hatching, cross-hatching, and a combination of these different techniques.

Instructor will supply:

  • Assortment of my favorite pencils and other drawing supplies for each student
  • Cups for water
  • Paper towels
  • Blending Stumps
  • Value Finder

Students should bring:

  • A personal journal/sketch book – higher quality paper is helpful
  • Faber-Castell PITT artist pen – either Small, Fine or Medium OR Waterproof India ink pen (Pigma Micron pens)
  • Water soluble graphite pencil (Stabilo)
  • Small pencil sharpener
  • Assortment of Small paintbrushs
  • A small personal object to draw either brought from home, or found while exploring the grounds at ArtUnraveled
  • Various Color photos (a color print out from your computer is fine) – high quality images with lots of crisp detail is perfered
  • Black and White copies of the images above

If music helps you make the shift from left brain to right brain feel free to bring in your iPod
