    DESCRIPTION

    During this immersive experience, you will learn how to truly see the world around you like an artist does. It's not just about casually glancing at objects; it's about observing their intricate forms, shapes, and structures.

    Through Armin Mersmann's expert guidance, you'll discover how to go beyond relying on your memory and what you think you see; instead, you will capture the essence of the shapes, lines, values, and forms you see before you.

    One of the key aspects we'll explore is the interplay of light, shadow, and details. These elements can be challenging to replicate accurately without proper training. Through hands-on exercises and demonstrations, Armin will teach you techniques that will enable you to bring life-like realism into your drawings.

    Moreover, our Boot Camp delves into an essential distinction: observational realism versus intellectual realism. You'll gain insights into drawing what you genuinely perceive rather than relying solely on preconceived notions or interpretations.

    The Drawing Boot Camp aims not only to enhance your technical skills but also to foster a deeper connection with your artistic intuition. By honing your observational abilities in this supportive environment, we believe that you'll unlock new dimensions in your artwork.

    Note: A supply list is provided. CTAC has pencils, charcoal, and erasers for your use if needed.
