Thursday April 1 Drawing Class at ArtServe



Today, in honor of April Fool's day, we will be drawing Carnivale Masks from Venice.

Our focus for this lesson will be the power of contrast in our compositions.

Materials:
Your choice of medium
Charcoal or pencil might make great value studies
You might consider working white on black or grey
viewfinders if you have them.
I will bring extras.

YOU ARE FEARLESS! YOU DREW A BICYCLE!

Artwork inspired by Venetian Masks

About Venetian Masks

Bring your imagination
See you on Thursday!
