Join us to learn how to create a detailed still life drawing using a range of fine art graphite pencils. A still life is a drawing of objects that don’t move, like fruits, flowers, or everyday objects. The focus will be on capturing texture, light, and shadow to make the objects in the still life come alive on the page. Students will use different graphite pencil techniques such as shading, blending, and creating contrast to add depth and dimension to their drawings.
By using graphite pencils, students will experiment with light and dark areas, learning how to use soft and hard pencils to create smooth gradients and sharp details. Through this process, they’ll improve their ability to observe closely, recognize shapes and proportions, and understand how light affects objects.
