Beginning Drawing

For people who haven’t drawn in a while or want to get started. Learn fundamentals and gain confidence as you draw with a variety of media and approaches. Limit 10 students

This class will be appreciated by beginning artists as well as those who used to draw but have let their skills lapse. Follow it with Intermediate Drawing, Drawing for Pleasure and get an excellent immersion in drawing.

Consider also trying Figure Drawing Intensive, one-day workshops that encourage experimentation with representation, abstraction and materials.
