In this 4-class course, I am going to teach two different drawing methods: one is for being able to draw what you see, and the other is for drawing from your imagination. Like any new skill, practice and repetition is the key to mastery. And knowing what to practice will economize the process and yield faster results.
This class is ideal for those who have some experience drawing but feel stuck and want to improve their skills (ages 15 and up).
