Close study, slow looking, and live drawing from the masters are traditional ways to build technical drawing skills and can lead to a better understanding of artists’ various styles. This four-session workshop seriesis designed to help participants at all drawing levels to become more conscious of their own style, voice, and creativity. Instructor and artist Eduardo Fernandez will guide participants through a variety of techniques and materials as they complete a substantial drawing project as well as a number of sketches from masterworks in Gods and Heroes. The series begins with an introductory presentation by Dawson Carr, the Janet and Richard Geary Curator of European Art, who will discuss different styles and techniques in the exhibition. Participants will be sent a materials list prior to the first meeting. Portable drawing boards provided by the Museum.

$75 Members; $100 Non-Members; All levels welcome.
