This three-week introductory course expands on the Beginner and Level 2 drawing programs. Each session will focus on different subject matter that uses concepts and principals from the previous lessons in the same general overview format. To prepare for this course, students will benefit from having taken the beginner and Level 2 classes or from a sound understanding and practice of intermediate drawing. For example, it is recommended that students have the basic 1 and 2-point perspective process memorized (the ability to make simple forms like boxes look three-dimensional). This course will be perfect for any intermediate artist that is open to the challenge of getting to their next level. Steve Chmilar is one of Canada’s foremost New Contemporary painters.
