Drawing Fundamentals Weekend Workshop

This drawing course will review gestural and other techniques to get “accurate” drawings on the paper. We will draw images of outdoor subjects (buildings, landscapes, etc.) projected in the classroom. We will learn the classic technique of Sight-Size and review the basic rules of perspective as we progress to translating what you see outdoors onto the paper. This course is useful for people wanting to draw while traveling or exploring their own backyard. It is open to all skill levels.

More about Bill Wise:
Bill’s passion is portraiture, painting the face and figure. He is inspired by and has a love for painting musicians; the challenge of capturing the moment when musicians are at one with a song.

Painting in watercolor provides him the control and accuracy of the drawing, but also freedom, spontaneity, and luminosity of the medium.

Bill has been teaching since 2013 at different locations in the Duluth area, on Zoom and YouTube. He teaches watercolor fundamentals and watercolor portraits, composition, drawing landscapes, figures, and portraits.
