Rendering Textures in Graphite with International Artist Rogério Lupo

Description

7 Thursdays: June 13, 20, 27, July 11, 18, 25, August 1 | 5:30 - 8:45 pm EST (skipping July 4)

A drawing done purely in graphite can, by its very nature, provide a spectacular result in botanical art and illustration. In addition, mastering the graphite technique yields us the tools for a detailed investigation of the subject by doing previous studies, so we can grasp the essentials of light and shade before working with other media such as colored pencils, pen and ink, or watercolors. This virtual course led by renowned international artist Rogério Lupo offers the fundamentals of light and shade, but focuses specifically on the richness of textures found in nature with all their diversity, and how to represent them artistically either using only graphite on white paper or graphite plus a light-colored pencil on toned paper.

This course will include drawing demonstrations of the various skills that will be discussed. Individualized feedback will be provided to each student. Only students who are enrolled in the Botanical Illustration certificate program at the Garden may register for this course. Students who want a refresher on graphite techniques prior to taking this course can find support in a free guidebook and a video tutorial provided by the instructor.

Fees: Member $290, Non-Member $348
