Classes and workshops
Dreamscapes
Katrina Morse is teaching Dreamscapes – Imaginative Drawing
Create an imaginative scene and learn new drawing skills or practice what you know. Maybe you have an idea already, or start just with 5 objects that come to mind and we’ll put them together on the page. We’ll use a variety of references for your work and develop a drawing that will be engaging and intriguing! You will learn how to make an object look “3-D” with shading, how to use stencils to add texture, and how to use composition to craft the right mood for your work. For both beginners and more experienced artists. Bring your own 9”x12” sketchpad, pencil, and eraser.
Classes are held at the First Presbyterian Church, 315 N. Cayuga Street, Ithaca. Sundays 1:30 -3pm. October 18, 25, November 1, 8. Register at the Blue Door Studio for $160 for four classes.
