This two-day workshop will be an introduction to seeing and drawing the three dimensions around you. Based on principles conceived by artists of the Renaissance, we will experiment with ways to capture in sketchbook drawings what you observe in reality. The focus will be on freehand drawing, creating convincing depth, and finding a personal, artistic voice in your sketchbook art.
