The workshop will cover some basic principles of drawing, from learning to use the materials to capturing a subject. I will walk through the items on my materials list to discuss some of their uses and qualities, how they may be used in different ways to achieve different effects.
​
Then we will go over some basic sketching and drawing techniques, including ways to see a subject that will help in capturing it on paper, to give it depth and perspective.

Materials List
Spiral Drawing Sketchbook 5.5 x 8.5 inches
Graphite Pencil in HB (or a set of various)
White plastic Eraser
Pencil Sharpener
Sketching Smudging Tool
Kneaded Eraser
​
There are some wonderful drawing kits that already have these tools (plus a few I will not be using) for fairly inexpensive. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Michael's and Joanns have options.
​
​
Any art "sketch" or "drawing" book at least 5.5 x 8.5 inches in size. Big enough to give you space, but not so big that it's overwhelming. Strathmore 400 Series or Canson XL Drawing are perfect options.
​
I will be using a Moleskine HB Pencil. A set containing various lead softness is also a good option. Moleskine Classic Drawing Set of 5, Faber-Castell Graphite Sketch 6 Pencil Set, Staedtler Mars Lumograph set of 6 are all great options.
​
White Eraser - Staedtler or any brand
​
Any Pencil Sharpener
​
Kneaded Eraser - General's or any brand
​
Smudging Tool - any brand
