    Why, despite everyday life in a 3D world, do we find it challenging to create the illusion of depth in our art?

    There are many ways to create the illusion of depth in a drawing: Value, hue saturation, and spatial relationships.

    Add another tool: Perspective!

    This workshop will present the history and theory of perspective and some simple and useful techniques to strengthen the illusion of depth in your drawing.

    The goal is to keep your free enjoyment of drawing, and also have the resources and awarenesses key to fulfilling your image goals. “Problem solving” is a creative act!

    We will focus on how perspective can contribute to any drawing, including interiors and still life compositions.

    Maximum of 8 students. One 3 hour sessions

    *To reserve your place in any class, payment must be received at the time of registration.

    REQUIRED MATERIALS LIST

    Note: All students get 20% off purchases at Oregon Art Supply while enrolled in a class… What a great time to try new stuff! The list below is enough to participate in the workshop, but you can also bring any drawing media you already have and see how it can be used.

    (Email the instructor if you have any questions!)

    Mechanical Pencil, 0.7 or 0.9. Strongly recommended: Replace lead with 2B or 3B lead (ask at the store counter). The softer lead is better for drawing. Mechanical pencils don’t need to be sharpened, and they give a good consistent line. A great brand is the Pentel Twist-Erase. It has a really good eraser.

    Eraser: White vinyl, highly recommended are the “clic” erasers that allow more precise erasing (Pentel Clic etc.). If your mechanical pencil has a good eraser, that can work.

    Triangle: 10” or 12” 30/60 triangle will be most versatile. Make sure it is translucent or clear acrylic. A straight edge can work, but a triangle is much more useful.

    Paper: Any basic paper is fine. Avoid textured paper. Sketch weight or bond weight both work. Decent quality photocopy/printer paper works great. Your preferred sketchbook (if it can lie flat!) can also work, but anything larger than 11 x 14 won’t be easy in the space we have.

    Useful: Small drawing board/clip board. It is good to have a firm support if using loose sheets.
