Get out of the house this spring, meet new friends, and have some fun learning to draw at our gallery

Time to learn something new? Something that will improve your hand-eye coordination, and get your brain synapses snapping? Anyone can learn to draw with the tools I will teach you & some practice. Learn to break down objects into their basic elements and shapes, see their edges, notice positive & negative space & learn about perspective. Blind contour drawing can enhance your understanding of how to render what you are looking at in a realistic manner, quickly. Learn how to add convincing shading to objects based on light direction and contour, so your drawings won't look flat.
