BBAC VISITING ARTIST WORKSHOP SERIES
Contour Drawing: 2-Day Workshop
with artist/instructor Armin Mersmann
Contour drawing is an essential technique in art
because it is a strong foundation for any drawing
or painting. Contour drawing is a technique
whereby the artist outlines the shape and mass of
an object or subject. The main details and features
are outlined, but small details and value transitions
are omitted.
In a contour drawing, the artist aims to represent
the contours; and edges of the form accurately,
without portraying volume or depth, by shading
the light and shadows.
This workshop's primary goal is to use thick, thin,
lost, and found lines. There are five types of
contour drawing: in this ten-hour, two-day class,
you will work with blind contour, closed counter,
and if there is time, open contour drawings.
You will also see samples of cross-contour
and shaded contour drawings.
