Basic Perspective Drawing With Catherine DeCesare
All Great Paintings Begin With a Successful Drawing!
The class is intended to give the artist an understanding of basic one-point and two-point perspective. Using pencils, triangle and graph paper you will begin to understand the basic concepts such as horizon line and vanishing point needed to enhance your drawings and paintings. The class will focus on exercises to build skills and demonstrate perspective principles. Drawings from the exercises can be fully rendered in pencil or transferred to heavier paper for finishing in watercolor and pen.
By understanding the key principles of perspective, students will gain confidence in their abilities and become less dependent on tools such as the vanishing point while painting on location, working from a photo and still life studies.
Materials: Drawing paper will be provided. Students should have HB pencils, eraser, and a 10″ triangle. Students can bring in a reference/photo they would like to work with or use one provided by Cathy.

Classical Drawing with Matthew McDonald
This course is designed to strengthen student’s drawing skills. Students will study
Master Drawings, Plaster Casts, and eventually the Figure. The progression will be from
working on two dimensional projects to working from life in three dimensions.
Emphasis will be on observing and interpreting nature faithfully to fortify the relation of
the eye and hand. Students will work their way through a series of projects beginning with two master
copies. Here they will develop strategies as well as new vocabulary and techniques that
will help them when working from life.
Next they will work from Plaster Casts, the first being something simple such as a facial
feature and the second a bust or mask. Cast drawing will help the students understand
form and value more easily as they won’t be distracted by colour. It will also give them a
chance to apply some of the drawing “solutions” they learned from working on the
master copies. Before they move onto working from the figure from life they will do a
series of small quick figure drawing copies to help them with gesture and to start talking
about anatomical landmarks.
Finally working from the live model students will spend a number of days working on a
sustained pose. We will pick the pose as a group looking for a strong gesture, interesting
shapes and strong light effect. I will ask students to bring their previous figure drawings
as well so they have some reference. I will draw alongside the students as well, so they
can see my approach. I would expect this course to take about three months from start
to finish if students are only working one day a week (Sat or Sun). Any one who wanted
to join the course later would simply start at the beginning and would have to have the
figure drawing portion done at either earlier or at another time when there are enough
students to make hiring a model viable. Click the link below for the materials list

Skill Building Drawing Program with Liam Vogel
This semi private drawing program is intended to help students develop and improve their drawing ability, no matter what skill level they currently have. Students will be given different traditional drawing exercises depending on their skill level and artistic interests. The instructor will work with each student one on one, in a semi private format, to determine the best possible course of development. Classes will end with a discussion of that days assignments, followed by a critique of the work that was accomplished. Students may bring outside assignments if they require assistance with a particular drawing that they hope to complete. All materials for in class assignments will be supplied by the instructor, but students are encouraged to get a sketchbook for working outside of class. The instructor will provide each student with optional sketchbook assignments for drawing exercises, which is considered an essential practice for any developing artists. Due to the class being offered in a semi private format, class size is very limited, so students must pre register in advance.

Plein Air Painting with Matthew Mcdonald
In this casual plein air painting class, Matthew will focus on specific aspects of painting with each student depending on their level. As well as discuss general concepts with the whole group. Some of the concepts we will cover will include blocking in, atmospheric perspective, creating a sense of space, mass vs interest, mixing greens and the prismatic palette. Depending on the amount of students and their interest, Matthew will do occasional demos during the class. Students are welcome to watch the demonstration or work on their own paintings during this time.
Classes will start at 9 am and run until 12 pm. This will give students enough time to finish a study without the light effect changing too dramatically. I will ask students to arrive on location about quarter to so we can have a quick group chat before everyone spreads out. I will send out emails ahead of time to let everyone know the locations as well as a follow up email the day before to remind and confirm with everyone. In the event of inclement weather we will have that class someplace with cover or reschedule for another date. You may find the suggested materials list by clicking the link below.

Plein Air Painting with Matthew Mcdonald
In this casual plein air painting class, Matthew will focus on specific aspects of painting with each student depending on their level. As well as discuss general concepts with the whole group. Some of the concepts we will cover will include blocking in, atmospheric perspective, creating a sense of space, mass vs interest, mixing greens and the prismatic palette. Depending on the amount of students and their interest, Matthew will do occasional demos during the class. Students are welcome to watch the demonstration or work on their own paintings during this time.
Classes will start at 9 am and run until 12 pm. This will give students enough time to finish a study without the light effect changing too dramatically. I will ask students to arrive on location about quarter to so we can have a quick group chat before everyone spreads out. I will send out emails ahead of time to let everyone know the locations as well as a follow up email the day before to remind and confirm with everyone. In the event of inclement weather we will have that class someplace with cover or reschedule for another date. You may find the suggested materials list by clicking the link below.
