About this Workshop:
Part of a new 4-part series! Learn to create depth and dimension with confidence in this workshop dedicated to the art of perspective. Whether you’re new to drawing or looking to sharpen your spatial skills, this course offers a comprehensive approach to understanding how perspective shapes the way we see and represent the world through hands-on exercises and observational studies.
Students will explore one point, two point, and atmospheric perspective, as well as how to apply these tools realistically in compositions. You’ll develop skills to create convincing space and structure bringing clarity and impact to your drawings. Perfect for anyone looking to strengthen their foundation skills or take their drawing to the next level with dynamic and spatially accurate drawings.
Level: Beginner—Some experience with line and form (Part I and II of the series for example) is helpful, but not required. This short-form workshop is part of a series of foundational drawing classes that build on skill in succession, however they can be taken individually to inform your own skills wherever you’re at. There are no pre-requisites for any class in the series.
Registration closes November 5, 2025. Material fees are included with your registration to cover the supplies provided in class. Students may/will need to gather/purchase additional materials for class (see the materials list below). This list will also be provided with the registration confirmation email.
