INTRO TO Realism DRAWING

A hands-on studio approach covering all the fundamentals of realism drawing!

This class will consist of instructor demos and practical exercises. It will cover a refresher of the basics of drawing, tools, and techniques in pencil, charcoal, and pen/ink and will explore some new horizons along the way.

Students will leave this class with tools and skills to confidently create works on their own.

Great for beginning level artists!
