DRAWING LESSONS FOR BEGINNERS
YOU CAN LEARN TO DRAW LIKE A MASTER!
Your dreams of becoming an artist can come true starting right now!
A major part of learning any art form is taking what you learn in class and then applying it over and over in practice.
Practice does indeed make perfect. It is by no accident that those students who practice the most, generally progress the fastest. And so your progression is not limited by anything when you learn to draw but only by how much effort you put in once you have been shown the way.
Learn at your own pace, in your own time, in your own home
In a classroom situation your progression is limited by the pace of the other students and waiting for next week's class. But when you learn from an Artacademy DVD or Instant Download workshop it's like a private class from the teacher to you. The teacher is there with you to demonstrate and explain a point as many times as you like before you progress. And you can proceed to the next lesson as soon as you are ready.
My Beginning to Draw Workshop is where you develop your foundational drawing skills. The successor workshop is Mastering Portrait Drawing 1: the frontal pose. They are available in both instant download (MP4) and DVD formats.

Beginning to Draw: The Foundation of Art Workshop
Beginner
Developing a rock solid foundation based on time-tested principles is the key to your success in learning to draw.
Many of us have been brought up to believe the myth that artists are born not made. But the truth is just about anyone can learn to draw and paint realistically with proper teaching based on sound classical drawing methods.
|
|
For centuries one of the most effective ways to learn to draw and paint was to be accepted into the atelier or studio of a master artist and train by - Watching, learning and then doing.
And here is the difficult thing - finding a recognized master artist to study with who is able to demonstrate exactly how to draw, and impart verbally how they did it. If you have ever attended an art class you will have quickly found out that there are good teachers who cannot demonstrate well and there are good artists that cannot verbalize what they are doing.
Beginning to Draw: The Foundation of Art Workshop is a 6 hour training courses presented in three parts: first is your Basic Training; second, is Plasticity: Form & Structure (this is where you learn to compose and draw single items and progress to a multi-object still life); third, is your Introduction to Portrait Drawing.
Also included is the Beginning to Draw PDF Text/Workbook AND my new Foundations in Drawing PDF course for advanced beginner level artists.
This workshop is a full semester of study for ONLY $54 for the instant download or, if you prefer the DVD's, only $127 which includes free worldwide shipping..

DRAWING CHILDREN - 3 Lessons
Perhaps the most challenging subject for the portrait artist is children. There are several criteria that need to be met for a successful child’s portrait: first, the drawing must be sound –The adult portrait drawing allows for small drawing deviances – not so with children; second, the expression is paramount. Children’s expressions are more primal. There are few of the subtleties found in the adult portrait. And, third, the end result must be as fresh as a biscuit – not an easy task.
This PDF volume comprises three lessons in drawing children: the first is a 5 year-old boy in sanguine conte with strong reflected lights; the second is a young girl in 3/4 view in black conte within the tondo (circular canvas); and the third lesson focuses on gesture and movement of a black girl in graphite pencil. 61 pages.

DRAWING DRAPERY
Drawing drapery requires a skill-set as distinct as portrait drawing is distinct from drawing the still-life. Although there are similarities in rendering plastic form in portraiture, still-life, etc., draped cloth requires an understanding of the various structures of the different types of folds.
There are seven basic folds: the pipe fold, the 2-point fold (also known as the ‘diaper’ fold), the zigzag fold, the drop fold, the half-lock, the spiral and the inert. A draped cloth often contains numerous fold structures, i.e., pipe, zigzag, and half-lock folds. Most artists while drawing or painting drapery quickly become lost in the forest of myriad folds and creases.
Drapery cannot be approached the same way you would tackle a still-life. Instead you need to learn the characteristics and be able to interpret the rhythms and stresses of each type of fold. Regularly $47.00 (46 pages)
