Beginning & Intermediate students
Anyone can learn to draw. It is a teachable skill, much like reading or music.
Beginning students are taught five fundamental skills that will enable them to draw anything that interests them. They will explore color through oil pastels, blendable markers, pencil, colored pencil and watercolor crayons. Class size is limited to 12 students so everyone gets plenty of attention.
Intermediate students continue to gain confidence in their drawing skills and learn new techniques for watercolor painting, pastels, acrylic painting, charcoal, and pen and ink.
