Our conversations will cover basic drawing supplies. Most of our drawing work will focus on dry media, including but not limited to: graphite charcoal and colored pencils.

Part 2: the second four sessions will build on our drawing foundation and move into introductory  painting skills.  Wet media options will include watercolor, gouache and/or acrylic paints. Composition, color value, color mixing demos and experiments will allow you to play with paint and build confidence. We will experiment with realistic an abstract exercises.
