Drawing: The Wonder of Trees

PREREQUISITE: “Drawing: The Right Approach” or equivalent experience.

Trees are a popular subject matter in art, whether it’s the cedars by Emily Carr, olive trees by Van Gogh or Mondrian’s abstract trees – trees can symbolize growth or strength.  In this class you will capture a variety of types of trees; such as trees in different seasons or in the landscape.  Other elements you will look at are perspective, movement, textures and how to draw leaves.  You will also have a chance to draw an abstract rendition of a tree, using colour and/or pen and ink.  Other materials we will use are graphite and charcoal.

All supplies included.
