Classes and Workshops
For Drawing 101, we’ll be doing a series of exercises to teach you to see in a new way (shapes, abstractions) to take the fear out of drawing. This course is for beginners only ... starting with real basics and getting you to forget about you “think” an object (or person or landscape) looks like. Emphasis is on learning how to draw, not in producing polished drawings.
