Week 1 Drawing Bootcamp Bigs 9am-12pmJune 12-16
"How do I get better at drawing EVERYTHING!?!” If you are serious about that question then this camp is for you. The focus is not on finishing colorfully drawn or painted Summer Camp projects…this 5 day intensive is about ‘training’. With techniques used in conservatories and art institutes, you’ll practice and develop ‘eye-hand coordination, proportion, 3-D, shading and light, ‘speed-drawing’ and tools used by master renders. Most importantly, every day will be a drawing and sketching work out. (All techniques used in this camp have been modified for ages: 9-16) Week 2 Deep Blue Bigs from 9-12June 19-23
