ArtShop:LIFE!

And now, for the most amazing magic trick, we will reproduce what you see right here on this paper…!

Drawing what one sees- i.e. drawing from life- is certainly a challenging trick that few magicians will attempt. However, it’s not as difficult as you think, and pro artist Tim Chambers will show you how, step-by-step in this ArtShop. Tim will show you how you can simplify the complexity of all your eyes take in and produce beautiful drawings and paintings. In ArtShop:LIFE! we’ll be learning:

• to see abstract shapes (but not creating abstract works)
• how to begin a drawing from life
• to recognize and use shadow and light masses
• the value of preliminary sketches
• the use of a plumb line
• the value of the ‘pencil trick’ to attain accurate proportions
• how to double-check your placement
• how to critique your work as you go along
• about using life drawing in your art journal
  
• about beautiful works in the museums by Masters old and not so old
• historical and contemporary art appreciation
  
• tips to continue practicing at home until the next ArtShop!

This is an exciting ArtShop session that will open your eyes to opportunities to develop your skills in a marvelous way. You’ll gain the tools to draw anything and everything! You’ll be putting your skills learned in other ArtShop sessions to full use.

IMPORTANT! Please bring a fruit and vegetable (two pieces total and the unusual is fun!) to draw from (students will be mixing/matching for variety).

ArtShop will run from 9am to 3pm. Cost is low, beginning at only $55 (depending on venue), and includes materials! Tim offers a few tuition scholarships at each ArtShop so that no one need miss out. For more details, visit our FAQs, or contact us. Register below via PayPal. See you there!
