If you can ride a bicycle, operate a sewing machine, or drive a car, you can learn to draw, too! Drawing is a relaxing hobby, a foundation skill for all visual arts, and a useful tool in planning home and garden projects. We will work both logically and intuitively and have fun during the process! You’ll develop basic drawing skills, as well as finding more enjoyment in the drawing process.  Focus on learning to see and measure accurately while using time-honored, traditional drawing techniques. We will also be doing some exercises that help you loosen up a bit for a more gestural approach to drawing in pencil, pen, and charcoal.
