Drawing with Michael Herron

Drawing with Michael Herron (Still Life, Portraiture, Landscape and Figure) is a structured series of short courses, ranging from basic to accomplished instruction in each topic. The Artists' Practice series will be interview style documentaries for more advanced students. Each series contains 10 twenty minute lessons.

The first available course is Still Life (AMD100). Available now on DVD and very soon as video on demand on this site (Lessons 1 to 5 on this course are freely available on YouTube). Still Life will be closely followed by installments of Landscape (AMD300) is presently in the editing suite. These will be made available as they are completed.

For teachers, all lessons come with extra resources that include class preparation sheets, summary sheets, extension activities, online evaluations, and instructional posters that can be downloaded for teachers and students. Perfect for viewing on electronic whiteboards, the demo tutorials below are uninterrupted, and login also allows access to the class resources that are available with the demo videos.
