Online via Zoom | Art Class 101. Drawing from the Masters―Toned Paper with Stephanie Goldman | Athenaeum Music & Arts Library | School of the Arts

In this class, we will draw from classical and modern art masters who worked on toned paper. You will learn how to use the tone of the paper plus white to create dynamic and expressive drawings. This course will sharpen your skills in rendering form, value, and texture. Basic composition, anatomy, and perspective will also be taught.
