Drawing the Still Life

The Hampshire County Arts Council invites artists – beginners to advanced – to spend an evening with instructor Chris Madden exploring approaches to drawing the still life. Drawing is the basis of so many of the arts – especially painting in any medium – and can be very intimidating. With Chris, participants will explore the composition of a still life, understanding light and shadows and getting that vision onto paper.

For the class, please bring charcoal and graphite pencils, (vine charcoal, if interested in that), drawing paper (11×14” or larger, preferred), a kneadable eraser and a drawing board.
