Join Artist/Educator Meagan Burns in the Continuous Line Fundamentals three times per week for one hour to greatly improve your drawing abilities by doing drawing warm-ups, pattern making and short timed continuous line sketches.
The Continuous Line practice is akin to taking vitamins for drawing; these classes do not focus on teaching you how to draw like anyone but yourself! Instead, this class encourages participants to embrace their unique style of line making, regardless of the medium. By incorporating a continuous line warm up practice into a daily drawing routine, participants can expect to see improvement in the quality and expressiveness of one's drawings.
Whether you are an experienced artist or a beginner, this fundamental practice can have a significant impact on your drawing ability. Meagan will offer proven tips and techniques for incorporating continuous line practice into your routine, and guide you towards discovering your own personal style.
