4/6, Saturday, Drawing 2 Class with Robert Waldo Brunelle JR, 10-4 with a lunch break at the Milton Artists Guild Art Center. $32 Members / $37 non-members, Ages 15+

Materials: Paper, pencil, eraser, and a straight-edge (ruler or triangle)

Topics covered in this class include: Constructing images using basic shapes, thinking in terms of volumes rather than outlines, using shapes to determine proper proportions, hints on composition and the rule of thirds, using composition to establish mood and emotions in a drawing, and using shading and shadows to describe textures. Students will draw a still life using these concepts, and, if time permits, will have a chance to draw with pen and ink and charcoal.

This is the second part of my Drawing Intensive series of classes. It is best if students have taken my Drawing 1 Class, or have had some experience drawing.educatorand political cartoonist.
