Drawing Boats at CBMM

Who doesn’t like to look at boats? Some of us even like to draw them, even if just dreaming….

Join guest instructor Tom Price in CBMM's Shipyard on Feb. 21-22 for a weekend class sharing the art of boat design through sketching.

This course will focus on developing an understanding of the naval architects preliminary design process, along with drawing shapely boats. We will touch on a very subjective examination of nautical aesthetics.

This is a hands-on course for both artists and non-artists in which we will represent a design and then sketch various vessels in CBMM’s collection. Getting the geometry right and “building” your 3D vessel in a 2D drawing will make your appreciation of boats and your sketches more satisfying.

All materials are provided. Dress warmly as we may venture outside!

This program is supported by CBMM’s Regional Folklife Center under the Maryland Traditions program of the Maryland State Arts Council.
