Deeper Into Drawing

Designed for students who already have a grasp of basic drawing techniques, this class takes you deeper into form, structure, and expression. Using dry and wet media, you will start with still lifes and progress to an introduction to live figure drawing at the end of the course.

This class has been much appreciated by beginning artists as well as those who used to draw but have let their skills lapse. Precede it with Getting Back to Drawing, with the same instructor, and get an excellent immersion in drawing.
