Sketching Fundamentals – Learn Basic Drawing Techniques for Nature

I will show you how you can master basic drawing skills step by step. We will take a look at materials, mark-making and textures, understanding shadow and perspective, explore drawing techniques that complement each other, practice a lot so that you get visible results, and most importantly, you will learn how you can draw anything.
Although I created this class with a focus on sketching the natural world, the techniques presented will help you to draw any subject, and it's a great foundation for anyone who wants to start a sketching practice.
There will be a variety of demonstrations to show how I apply the concepts to a real sketch – with many different nature subjects: for example landscapes, trees and animals, and there will be lots of exercises and assignments for you to start your drawing practice and build skills.
This is a class focused on basics, so you will only need the most basic drawing tools: pencil, colored pencil, eraser, drawing paper. You don't need any special skills, the class is aimed at beginners or artists who want to revisit the fundamentals.
