Think you can't draw?

You definitely can.

Pretty good already? 

Let's advance it even more.

Just want to be motivated to do more? Join us!

This course will enhance your drawing skills. Drawing is rewarding and pleasurable on its own, but can also lead you to other goals:

  •  more effective paintings

  •  relaxation and stress relief

  • planning out future work

  •  an avenue to tell a story

We will explore contour line drawing, still life, natural objects/landscapes, and work on effective shading. To accomplish this, we will study form, angles, proportion, shape, scale, placement, light and shade. Group and individual instruction will be provided.

MATERIALS TO BRING:

Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.
