In this course, you learn to draw from observation. We alternate between drawing in the Botanical ZuidAs of the VU and in the studio of Griffioen. You will be surprised by the most unusual flowers and plants and learn how to draw powerful shapes and lines, the right proportions and shadows. We will also pay attention to creating exciting colour combinations and balanced compositions.
Colette Curfs attended the teacher training college in Delft and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
