DRAWING STUDIO 1 CLASS PORTFOLIO
This was a semester long class I took during the Fall 2019 Semester at the University of Pittsburgh. The course focused on drawing from observation and challenged my skills with a variety of different dry mediums. I gained ample experience with the observational drawing of subjects ranging from bottles and pots to live models (live models are not included in this portfolio). This portfolio contains the outside-of-class projects. Each assignment was completed on 18" x 24" paper and took roughly 8-16 hours to complete over a 1-2 week period.
