July 3 - Join this ArtWaves workshop and learn about how to compose a drawing. In this workshop you will learn how to make your drawings more visually appealing and how to balance them, so you get the appropriate feelings across. You will be given a still life to draw then draw it in different compositions to see how it impacts the piece. You should have prior drawing experience, but do not need to know much about composition. Graphite and colored pencils will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own materials.
