Tuesdays, Jan 28-March 18 | 5:30-8 pm

Instructor: Susan Gray Bé

In this class you'll learn to see light as contrasting shapes while adding structure and detail with line, tone, and color. Your aesthetic preferences will naturally evolve as you learn techniques to create three-dimensional forms. You'll begin class with charcoal, and expand with a choice of pastels, watercolors, acrylics, or oils, while drawing from organic forms and a live model.
