Join us for a four week, intensive and systematic, step by step course that covers the fundamentals of drawing. While primarily aimed at beginners, the course will also help firm up the skills of students with some drawing experience. Following completion of the program, students will have the comprehensive skill set necessary to accurately render any observable object. While not mandatory, some drawing during the week between sessions will enhance the learning experience.
