SUMMARY:Sketching & Drawing with Phil Schorn
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, students will learn to draw what they see. And\, to learn pencil techniques to create a finished piece of art. Students will work from still life and also plein-air (outside). \nSupplies purchased by the student  \n11 x 14 sketch book (9 x 12 will work)\, you will like the larger size. \nDrawing board for the paper\, with clip\, (to hold the paper) \nVarious drawing graphite pencils (ex; 2H\, 2B\, 6B) \nKneaded Eraser \nDrafting Eraser \n12” ruler \n \nPhilip Schorn – P Schorn Studio – Botanical Color Pencil Artist My botanical renderings are not drawings of plant specimens as seen in scientific books; rather\, they are renderings of plants as seen through the eye of an artist. I can look at the ground; I can see the shapes\, light\, and shadows. I focus on a small portion of the subject and what makes it interesting\, whether that be the individual leaf\, flower\, or snapshot of the ground\, to bring the details to life.\nI have been working with colored pencil for several years and teaching the art for the last three years. I’m currently teaching online from my home since March. I currently teach online color pencil classes for other art studios/galleries\, private classes and Facebook demos. I have two books published of my art/techniques on. I have done a number of outdoor shows\, group and individual exhibitions.\nMy process of making a rendering with the detail that I want to have requires a significant amount of time. Sometimes I use other media\, such as ink\, watercolors or pastels.\nI am a member of the Color Pencil Society of America\, Grayslake Arts Alliance and the Lake County Art League. My studio is located in Grayslake. \nEmail: phil@psc
