November's Contour Drawing Class, Fruit.




This month in Contour Drawing class we will focus on the wonders of fruit!
These organic forms are forgiving to draw, a great starter class for beginners.
We will work on *seeing* organic forms as they are, not as we imagine them,
and we will train our eyes, brains, and hands to work together as a team.
Sakura micron pens, Pentel pocket brush pens, 
and Koi and Tombow markers will be our tools of the trade. 

Wednesday, November 18th 6-8:30pm.

Hope to see you in class!

Sketchbook Play : The Art of Keeping a Visual Journal

Come learn to play, sketch, paint and record your daily life in a handmade book.
This class is geared for the sketch-phobic, the ultimate beginner,
 the "I always meant to," the "when I retire", the imperfectly perfect Artist in all of us.
No experience needed, no magical talents requested,
just bring your own wonderful self.

In this class we will spend the first week creating our very own long stitch bound
 sketchbook using vintage book covers, hot press watercolor paper, and waxed linen thread.
This simple bookbinding method is delightful because our books will open flat
 giving us full access to all of our pages. 

Weeks two through six we will learn the basics of contour drawing using everyday
 objects as our models. We will continue on learning about watercolor techniques, 
hand-lettering, fancy borders and more!

Classes will begin with a demonstration and are followed up with plenty of work time
which includes, coaching, and creative cheerleading from Suki.

We will study and draw botanicals, vintage household curiosities, gifts from the sea
 and forest, and anything else that strikes our fancy. We will embrace recording
our daily lives and objects in a visual format, which is such a treat to
look back through and treasure.

Dates: Wednesday's, April 15th-May 20th
Time: 6-8:30pm
Location: Bird's Eye View Studio, 
3934 NE 16th Ave. Portland, OR 97212

Your material fee covers the cost of your handmade sketchbook
and an 02 micron pen. There is an additional small supply
list of a few brushes, and inexpensive set of watercolors
and a few pens.

Fingers and toes crossed for everyone!
