Description

February, 7th, 10am-2:30pm (incl. 30min. lunch break)
In this class, we’ll continue developing drawing skills using graphite sticks and pencils while working from increasingly complex still-life arrangements. Though intended as an intermediate class, beginners are welcome and will be guided as needed.We’ll dive deeper into how light and shadow shape what we see—starting with simple objects and gradually introducing more intricate forms as the session progresses. Students will explore how objects interact with one another, altering the light and shadow in subtle ways and creating richer, more complex drawings.

The class consists of a series of drawing sessions that build in intensity, culminating in a longer, sustained drawing period at the end. Basic drawing materials will be available. To get the most out of the experience, instructor Wayne McKinzie recommends bringing the following supplies:

• Large drawing pad: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WG20SC/?coliid=I2SYFLXY8GMOH9&colid=1J7R1WOJV34WT&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

About Wayne McKinzie:Wayne McKinzie was born April 17, 1957 in Warrensburg, Missouri. His family
moved many times during his youth mostly living in small towns in Missouri,
Oklahoma, and Iowa. His artwork is influenced by the rural settings in which he
grew up and worked. The effect of humans on the landscape and the random
patterns created by a mixture of agriculture and nature can be seen in his expansive
pieces.
Wayne received his BA from Buena Vista University in Iowa in 1979. In addition to
fine art, he has a background in commercial art and illustration. He has had several
one person shows at galleries in the Fort Worth/Dallas area. His paintings have also
been represented in group shows and galleries in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.
From 2007 to 2012 he worked primarily as a commission artist, adding to both
individual and corporate collections.
After living 27 years in Fort Worth, Texas, Wayne relocated to New Mexico in 2010
and presently lives in Western Colorado in the Grand Mesa Area. He is pleased to
be back in a landscape that inspires him and is enjoying Colorado's influence on his
work.www.wmckinzieart.com
