| Roland Lee Drawing Workshop
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Drawing is the basis of good painting, but can also be beautiful finished
art in itself. This workshop explores the way we see objects in nature,
through value contrast, edges, and shapes. We will use techniques of
chiaroscuro as we learn to describe the illusion of three dimensional
form and space on a flat surface. The workshop will include working
in the studio from both photos and still life, plus sketching
on location outdoors. So come prepared to work, learn, and
have fun!

MATERIALS LIST
All of the materials necessary may be purchased when you get to the
workshop at “A Passion for Painting “ studio. But the following
items are recommended:
Paper:
A Watson-Guptill hardbound Sketchbook will be provided as part of the
class. However, if you have a special preference you may bring your
own sketching paper and tools for working in class. We will use the
hardbound sketchbooks when working in the field.
Additional paper (any kind) for classroom work and note-taking
Easel: In the studio we will work on tables, so you won’t
need an easel. You may bring an outdoor french easel or anything you
are comfortable with for painting out of doors.
Pencils:
An 8B soft graphite pencil will be provided as part of the class.
Please bring any additional drawing tools you enjoy using.
Black or dark brown Conte Pencil or Crayon (or) Soft Charcoal

I prefer gray Kneaded eraser
Special Note for Outdoor Painting:
Be prepared for outdoor sketching both days. Bring a camera, light jacket,
plus appropriate footwear, hat, backpack or carrying bag for your gear,
drinking water, and a portable stool. We won’t be doing any serious
hiking, but we will do some walking.
