Drawing Course with Eric Vanasse

For beginners we will begin with the foundations of drawing: visual measurement, identification of forms and proportions, notions of shadow and light, and an introduction to perspective. To do this, we will use the reference drawings of Bargue-Gérôme and then we will progress to simple still lifes made of geometric shapes.

Students who have completed the previous steps and for more advanced students, we will use still lifes made of plaster casting. The student will then have the choice to develop a personal project using photographic references, to copy an engraving or a Master's drawing, or to make a more complex still life from life.

We will use a variety of techniques and tools to develop your perception of shapes, proportions and values. Most techniques are applicable to pencil or graphite drawing.

Each student will follow a personal path and choose the subjects that interests him/her in order to structure his/her development while having fun in the execution.
