Painting and Drawing On Location in Italy
Instructor Georgetta Marie Gancarz

This course will provide a foundation in the fundamentals of drawing and watercolor design. Using various indoor and outdoor locations as our classroom students will sharpen their vision and perception by studying nature and the human figure. They will work to create unity through architectural organization of space and light and develop realistic rendering of one, two and three point perspectives in detail, using wet and dry brush, loose washes and the drawing process. Short and longer gesture exercises explore methods for achieving a likeness of the subject its contour, value, color, design, composition and texture. Students will draw and paint from landscapes, still lives, interiors and figures. Sessions will be augmented with classical traditions as well as the creative process.
