For those who think that the only people who can draw are those born with that “gift”; guess again.  If you have never progressed beyond the drawings you did in grade school, this class should help you gain those skills. If you are already a painter, this class will help refine your drawing skills and gain confidence.

Through a series of exercises, you will be taught, on a building block style, how to really see what you are drawing.  Once you know this, you will be able to join any other art class with the confidence of an artist.
