SUMMARY:The Paint Spot Presents: Learn to Draw Hands
DESCRIPTION:Hands are one of the most expressive parts of human anatomy. They are also the bane of most artist’s existences. They can be incredibly frustrating to understand and translate to paper. In this workshop\, students will run through a series of modules and exercises\, focusing on how to approach\, construct\, and understand how to draw the human hand. \nThis class will also promote Sketchbook experimentation. Finding the joy of drawing and figuring things out. Making mistakes is not something to shy away from\, but something that helps build confidence and reinforce a stronger understanding of the medium. \nAbout the Instructor: \n\nDaniel is a cartoonist and illustrator based out of Edmonton. He has had produced art for numerous galleries and restaurants across Edmonton. His blend of tradition and classical anatomy mixed with modern cartooning has made a big splash in the community. \n\nSuggested Supplies: \n1.    Sketchbook\n2.    Coloured leads (either mechanical or coloured pencil; at least 3\, one dark\, medium and light colour)\n3.    Sharpener\n4.    A pencil\, notebook\, snack\, drink\, and your own PPE (mask\, hand sanitizer) \nWhen: Monday\, May 12th from 6:00-9:00 PM\nWhere: Artelier\, 10045 81 Ave NW\, Edmonton (back alley entrance)\nCost: $60 per person \nClass limit is 15 students.
