CARS & ART

CARS AND ART, presented by Drawing LA and Leen Customs! LIGHT INSTRUCTION ONLY (this is a session, not a class). Hosted by Cynthia Halley & Omar Rehman For car enthusiasts and artists alike! This is a chance to draw unique vehicles in a casual, controlled, and chill environment, with cool people and no pressure. Think figure drawing sessions - but for cars! All you need is a pen or pencil and sketchpad, plus your enthusiasm. No prior experience or knowledge necessary. We will have 1 or two vehicles available to draw per session. Your hosts are Cynthia Halley (Marvel’s What If & Zombies, SpiderVerse) and Omar Rehman (HotWheels, Ford, Nasa). Cynthia & Omar will be on hand to socialize and answer basic questions about drawing techniques and the cars themselves. Why join us? Car shows are tons of fun with tons of great cars to draw, but they can be hot, loud, and tiring. There’s no one guiding the mission, and somebody always stands exactly in your view! Drawing LA & Leen Customs want to provide artists and enthusiasts a chance to draw and and study cars in a comfortable, intimate setting, where you can actually relax, get a little feedback if you want it, and enjoy the company of other likeminded creative folks. Leen Customs is a fun and spunky space in LA’s Car District, perfect for drawing and hanging out. Picture a clean and comfortable indoor garage that opens up to the outdoors, with a lift for the car so we can look underneath, a ramp walkway with two levels for different viewing angles, a gift shop area, and private restroom. Keep in mind this is a LIGHTLY instructed event. Cynthia & Omar will NOT be giving full instruction, but are happy to answer casual questions. For structured classes, keep an eye out for Drawing LA’s formal workshops, which will also be announced here on Meetup & Instagram! Space is limited, so sign up ASAP! We welcome comments and questions! SUGGESTED SUPPLIES:: SMALL folding stool or chair (space is limited) Sketchpad/book/paper Markers or pencils OK to bring Contained watercolor pens or solid gauche NO loose liquid paints Snacks Restroom and water are available on site Plenty of Street Parking FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM FOR MORE EVENTS: @cynthiahalleyart @youknowitsomar @leencustoms

I have a firm belief that anyone can learn to draw and "talent" is really just another word for "dedication and passion"! In this course, we will focus on the techniques set forth by the Ecole Des Beaux Arts, a French Academy that turned out some of the best artists of the 19th century. Working from Drawings by Charles Bargue and from Classical Casts, you will have the opportunity to learn the techniques of Sight Size and Comparative Measurement in order to accurately draw what you see...and have fun! Working in Graphite and Charcoal, students will learn the language of the line and the beauty of these traditional mediums. You will feel like you are transported right into a French academy! This class is designed for all levels. Not sure this class is for you? I encourage you to just drop in for a few sessions and give it a try! This drawing course is an invaluable tool for any artist. **What you will learn** Measuring proportions, establishing angles and refining shapes Tone and finalize shadow shapes Rendering forms and focus on values, edges Historical techniques for rendering: hatching, line weight for emphasis, form emphasis, mass emphasis Tools and tricks for helping you see shapes and values accurately Live demonstrations and personalized instruction to help you learn faster Personalized one-on-one instruction You must bring your own materials.
