In this advanced studio class you will receive individualized instruction to propel your drawing abilities to the next level.
Each week you will have the option to work on your own independent project or take inspiration from a scene set by the instructor like intricate still-lives, flowing drapery, vibrant flowers, iconic masterpieces, or live figure models. Through individual and group lessons and critiques, you will be challenged to grow your skills further and to continue to develop your personal style. Open to artists working in any drawing media such as charcoal, pencil, pastel, and more.
