If you write or print, you can draw and paint! Talent may speed up the process. However, drawing is a learned skill that anyone can achieve with direction and practice. Learning to draw and paint can be the gateway to self-expression and appreciation of the world at large. The course will cover basic skills such as sketching, perspective shading, color mixing, and composition. The focus is to build the perception and hand-eye coordination. A wide variety of media will be used such as graphite, conté, and pastel, watercolor and acrylic. Beginners as well as those with previous drawing experience are welcome. It’s time to rebuild your artistic skills and creative confidence!
