Drawing Room Collective

$89

with Deb Vendetti

Calendar Mar 4, 2025 at 10 am, runs for 6 weeks
Working primarily in graphite and other drawing media, we will come together for six weeks of Tuesday morning 2 ½-hour sessions to explore line, form, tonal value, seeing skills, abstraction, and mark making—all and any aspect of the simple yet rich medium of drawing. The pace will be relaxed. Participants will be expected to bring work in progress for sharing and continued drawing. At the initial meeting, the group will determine together the direction of our focus. The instructor will provide resources and offer demos—one on one, small group ,or whole group depending on the interests of the “drawing room collective”. Suggested for any level of skill or experience. We will all share our interests in a supportive and energizing studio atmosphere. Suggested materials list: Graphite 2b (can be a yellow school Dixon Ticonderoga, or a Mirrado Black Warrior), 9b (solid graphite stick); several white plastic erasers such as Mars Staedtler (optional, thin white plastic eraser in a pen style holder—thinnest diameter); fine natural artist chamois for creating a smooth ground (find at Dick Blick); paper—the very best, Arches Watercolor, Hotpress (a tough paper with a smooth surface that can stand multiple erasures. It holds blacks beautifully, and you can create smooth gradations on it. Other papers can be used at lower cost depending on how much revisioning and reworking of your drawing is desired.)
