Continuous Line Drawing Workshop
Instructor: Susie Harris
Adults & Older Teens
Date: TBD
Time:
Continuous line drawing is for everyone! If you are new to art, this technique is fun and a super easy way to learn. If you are a seasoned artist, you might learn different way to view and capture your subject. This technique is simple, you put your pen down and draw, but, here’s the challenge, you draw without lifting the pen!
Practicing this technique helps develop observational skills, as well as focus and hand-eye coordination! You will learn the basics, then practice this free flowing technique. If you like, bring a photo to work from — people, animals, landscapes — and if you have a favorite drawing instrument, bring that too. We will draw and add color, as time allows.
All materials will be provided.
