Draw with Me – Session 3

 

In this session we’re going to experiment with making arrangements of several objects to create a pleasing composition. Working from this arrangement direct from life, or from photographs we’ll make a drawing. It’ll be an opportunity to work on your skills of comparing relative proportions and using negative space to help make an accurate drawing. Don’t forget, you can also use a grid if you found that helpful last time.

Approximate run time: 1 hours 21 minutes

Presenter: Laura Kemshall

In this lesson we'll work creating an arrangement of several objects in a single composition then we'll make a drawing.
