At the heart of every great artist is a strong foundation of skills allowing them to take their ideas and turn the imaginary into reality. Join us this summer for an intensive focusing on the fundamentals of drawing light and shadow. We will explore how light bounces, reflects, and brings dimensions and value to our world. Additionally, we will study how to accurately draw shadows that we see in everyday life and how they create the mood for environments.
