Drawing Class

Class tuition includes access to a wide variety of professional studio materials, including:

• Drawing paper
• Small canvases
• Graphite pencils
• Colored pencils
• Alcohol markers
• Charcoal
• Chalk pastels
• Blending tools
• Erasers and sharpeners

Students are welcome to bring their own painting surfaces if they wish to work on a larger scale or explore different materials.

Examples include:

• Larger canvases
• Canvas panels
• Bristol board
• Toned papers
• Mixed media paper
• Illustration board
• Any drawing surface you'd like to explore

We'll gladly help you adapt your project to the surface you choose.

Classes may include:

• Drawing fundamentals
• Observation and sighting techniques
• Line quality and contour drawing
• Shading and value
• Perspective
• Composition and design
• Proportion and measurement
• Texture and mark making
• Color theory with colored pencils and markers
• Portraits, landscapes, still life, animals, fantasy, and more
• Mixed media drawing techniques
• Creating original artwork from your own ideas or reference images

Every class is designed to meet students where they are, offering individualized guidance while encouraging experimentation and creativity.

While drawing is generally less messy than painting, some materials, such as charcoal, pastels, and alcohol markers, can stain clothing. We recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a little art on. Smocks are available for students who would like to use them.
