One of the more challenging aspects of drawing is to render correctly in perspective. How do you draw something that is pointing right at you? Here is your opportunity to learn how to draw petals, leaves, and the limbs and wings of animals and birds that are foreshortened, by focusing on shape and value. Includes two short sessions to draw from live animals! Catherine will explain how to shift your seeing to correctly analyze the structure of your subject, draw in proper perspective, and create the illusion of true three dimensional space with varied natural forms.
