“The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.” – Oscar Wilde
Have you ever wanted to draw what you see? In this 3-hour still life workshop, Spaceus member Sharon Lacey will introduce students to some of the tried and true methods of the 19th century art academies. By learning how to sight properly, you will be able to draw accurate representations of things, stuff, and whatnot.
Observational drawing is a valuable skill for artists and non-artists alike. It can deepen your engagement with reality, help you focus on the present moment, and inspire you to look longer at things. Drawing is a splendid, low-tech way to record your impressions of the visible world.
You’ll need drawing paper, pencils, and charcoal.
About the instructor:
Painter Sharon Lacey studied the figure extensively at the New York Academy of Art, and continued her training in art historical techniques at the University of London. Her studio is located in Somerville, MA.
