Class Description

Join NMA instructor Iliya Mirochnik for an eight-session Live Class on building a composition from observation and memory. You’ll begin by studying objects, people, clothing, and spaces, simplifying what you see into clear shapes and redrawing subjects from memory. Then you’ll choose a theme, test different arrangements in small sketches, and develop a black-and-white composition with a planned focal point and value structure. Seven teaching sessions lead to a final review of the finished work and the decisions behind it.

Schedule: Wednesdays at 5:00 PM PT, beginning October 28. No class November 25, December 23, or December 30. Final critique January 6.
