Draw-N-Paint

It’s about starting from the beginning, making small pencil marks and letting them flow across a sheet of artist material to compose an art work from our minds eye. It’s about learning to see a form of space once again that we lost sight of in our early schooling years. It’s about opening up the creative side of the mind which was replaced and locked out by the logic side of the mind. It is about you and letting yourself out into the world to see that no one, not anybody else has what is inside of you. It is You can Draw and Yes You can Paint. It is Draw-N-Paint

Draw-N-Paint takes the visual arts learning process to the beginning. Starting with the drawing of simple forms we look at how these small forms are part of large forms or images. Some of these forms are squares, cones, triangles and circles. We learn how to measure these forms with a well known tool called a grid. Then we build on the visual art knowledge we have gained by adding new artist techniques each day to what we have learned to draw as realistically as we can.

After the graphite pencils come the artist oil paints. This is were we take the images we have drawn, place them on an artist painting canvas and create an oil painting of our own. We go through each step of the painting process from start to finish. From the blank canvas to one filled with color.

So find what it’s like see as an artist views the start of an illustration and then builds on it. See how to focus on simple forms within a picture that is either on a photograph, in your mind or where ever and then make it real. Welcome to Draw-N-Paint.
