LETTING GO OF CONTROL: BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING
Wednesdays | April 21 | 1-2pm PT
All ages and skill levels
Blind contour drawing is more about the process of drawing than it’s about “getting it right.” In this class, students will have the choice to set up a still life or draw objects they’ve chosen. The object is to draw without looking down at the drawing and without picking up the pen/pencil. It’s about the process of seeing and connecting to the subject - almost like tracing it. The result is a fluid, slightly abstract, drawing whose outcome is often more interesting than a realistic drawing.
Supply List:
- Drawing paper
- Sketch paper
- Pens + Pencils (participants can choose to bring a variety of pencils (hard and soft leads) and pens (felt tip, brush pens, etc.))
Instructor’s Note: It is helpful to have an idea of what you want to draw. Bring objects, set up a still life, choose a photo from a magazine or one that you’ve taken, etc., so you’re prepared to jump right in.
