A drawing by Edilu Nehrbas, the instructor for the “Drawing Fundamentals” class at the Rehoboth Art League. – Contributed Photo How do you learn to draw? It begins with the basics, from holding a pencil to using line and tone. “Drawing Fundamentals” offered at the Rehoboth Art League Thursday mornings, June 7 through 29 from 9:00 a.m. to noon is suited for the novice artist or for anyone interested in sharpening their drawing skills. Local artist Edilu Nehrbas will teach students a number of traditional skills and ideas that have occupied artists throughout history. The class involves drawing from direct observation with an emphasis on space and value and other basic techniques and concepts. By learning to “draw what you see, rather than what you think you see,” the class will take their representational drawings to a higher level. The cost of this four-week class is $115 for members and $150 for non-members.
