Develop incredible sketching skills in 8 weeks!

This unique and satisfying application of important Sketching Techniques for ALL LEVELS!

Chris Maggio ~ Instructor/Course Developer

Organic Sketching (OS) is a relaxing, natural, and pleasing way to express our concepts, ideas, and dreams into their first visual stages. It’s a combination of learned skills, observations, employing creative techniques, and endlesspractice. Sketching is typically the very first step in almost every genre of art, be it drawing, painting, sculpting, architecture, or design. Unreliable skills make starting a sketch frustrating for some people and can even make the experience of sketching a fearful hurdle! I am here to help make sketching exciting, comfortable, and something to look forward to!

OSbuilds eye-brain-hand connections, instills confidence, and allows our visions to come to life comfortably and smoothly by emphasizing important basicsketching skills. OS is a non-mechanical freeform way to think your ideas through asyou lay them out. Pencil-control and finesse become second nature over time, as do finding mass and volume, making decision lines, commitment lines, examining light, depth, and understanding effective line-crafting. We will learn to “see” an object as opposed to just looking at it, developing natural pathways from our brain to our hand. In the end we find lifein our sketches! We learnself-critiquing and observation.

Most importantly, we learn how sketching is a process, not a product!

This fun and educational experience is very unique and vibrant, unusually interactive, and not like any class or workshop you have ever explored! From beginner to advanced, you will leave with new skills and techniques, new desires to create, and a higher confidence level than when you first sat down. Don’t bother bringing an eraser, we won’t be using one!
