In this supportive drawing class, you’ll learn to sketch what you see and what you imagine. We’ll explore the basics of Values, Perspective, and Proportion, using pencil and charcoal—and you’ll even learn the grid method to create drawings that look incredibly real (no tracing needed!).
This is a class for people who think they can’t draw. You’ll leave feeling like an artist. If you are more experienced, we will challenge and encourage you to explore new horizons in technique and approach.
This course gently guides students from sketchbook anxiety to artistic self-assurance. Through life drawing, figurative illustration, imaginative exploration, and structured photo reference work, students will learn to draw with joy, accuracy, and style. The grid method offers a framework for realism, while creative prompts invite personal expression.
