Drawing skills are painting skills. Whether your style and approach is impressionistic, realistic, comic, naive, expressive - or anything else - you will grow by honing your drawing skills.  

This course takes artists through the following essential skills and concepts; proportion and placement, perspective, construction, value and light effect, concentrating values, turning form, edges and texture, and composition.  Each class begins with a slide talk that illustrates the concept through different artistic movements and media, then Sarah will provide a short demo of the exercise designed to practice the skill.  Students will then spend a time drawing (or painting) with 1-1 feedback from Sarah. Each lesson builds on the previous lesson.  Students will be given free access to recorded version of Sarah's slide talks.  

Non-members: $400 (may receive a 0%, 10%, 15% or 20% discount based on the student's membership level.)

Payment plans available!
