The Natural Way to Draw & Paint

The Natural Way to Draw & Paint

Course Code: ARTS2817

This course has been designated at a beginner/intermediate level. These courses may branch into skill building beyond the beginner level, but the faculty member is also willing to take on students with no previous skills.
Rediscover your sense of joy and wonder in nature as you draw and paint, engaging all your senses. Learn sight skills, but also as you draw and paint from memory. Develop an intuitive way of drawing with searching and sensory lines, through weight, expression, movement and rendering techniques of nature based subject matter. The transition from drawing into colour is guided by the use of watercolour pencils to develop into a painting. Found objects in your nature box combined with fun exercises to heighten your awareness of the natural world around you will have you wanting more. Learn how to express art through your connection with nature. This course is designed for beginners or for people who want a refresh on their drawing skills.
