Tonight's Cordovan Art School drawing class at Jerry's Artarama in Austin was taught by artist Deb Richardson. She is an excellent teacher, gentle but great critiquing and she helps us realize what strengths and weaknesses are in our work and teaches us to translate what we are seeing with our eyes into how to interpret that through art technique. Deb does wonderful portraiture and fine art that can be seen at www.dkrichardson-artist.com.
So, tonight we drew basic shapes - cylinder, cone, cube, sphere - with pencil and learned about shaping, shading, highlights, shadows, how to make things appear closer and further away. These basic shapes are even in very organic objects like faces and are critical to learn to become a more effective artist.
Deb is very encouraging to each student and has a delightful sense of humor and a quick laugh as well!
