FORCE Basics Class

10 Weeks, Wednesday Nights

Start Date: Sept 18th

End Date: Nov 20th

Time: 8-9:30 PM PST

Discover how I bring drama, fluidity and FORCE to my drawings!  I will share with you all the secrets and tricks to make your drawing exciting and believable. Every week you will watch tutorial videos on the site.  If you have any questions about them between classes, you can write them below the video and/or ask questions in the following LIVE session when you share your homework.  During the LIVE sessions, I will answer those questions and critique student work. There is no better way to learn than LIVE feedback!

Digital Supplies:

A paint program that has brushes with opacity and line thickness control.  Photoshop and ProCreate on the iPad preferred.  Brushes for both programs will be accessible during the class.
