Instructor: Lisa Albinus
Course Description: White objects and pale surfaces are deceptively difficult to draw. Push too hard and they turn gray. Hold back too much and they fall flat. This six-week graphite class focuses on learning how to work in that narrow, subtle space where light values come to life.
Students will explore how to build form using restraint—layering graphite gently, controlling pressure, and learning how small value shifts can describe shape without overwhelming it. Working from simple, light-colored subjects, the class emphasizes developing a drawing after it has been established, strengthening it through nuance rather than contrast.
This course is ideal for artists who already know how to construct a drawing and are ready to refine it. The skills developed here deepen control in graphite and translate naturally to other drawing and painting mediums.
