WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Capturing the size of people in a crowd, the four legs of an animal,
or buildings in a scene; these challenges can all be helped by a
solid understanding of perspective. This workshop is designed to
give you a foundation in perspective that will be applicable no
matter your subject. Using your own reference, you will be
encouraged to begin practicing perspective drawing in One, Two and
Three point perspectives. Learn simple principles that will
instantly improve your work by resolving problems when something
you’ve drawn doesn’t look right. These techniques will help suggest
depth in actual painting situations; landscape, still life and
figure painting. On the second day, Cookie will guide you as you
translate your perspective drawing on the first day into your
painting. You will really discover the value in using drawing to
strengthen your painting. |
ABOUT THE ARTIST: “Cookie” can’t remember when she was not drawing or painting. Directly out of college she began her career working for Hallmark in Kansas City; designing, illustrating and sculpting. After moving to Chicago, she worked for ad agencies and packaging companies, as well as drawing courtroom sketches for the Chicago Tribune and, now, CBS. Cookie loves working with fellow artists to share the lessons learned by a lifetime of study. Being continually inspired by other artists makes teaching an ongoing learning experience for both student and teacher. Website: www.cherylcookartist.com |
