Drawing for Those Who Think They Can't [click arrow for brochure]
Ah, we beg to differ and we'll prove it or give your money back.  Sometimes students see improvement in their work within the first two hours of this workshop. Class runs with minimum of five participants for five consecutive days for 20 hours. Students add to Tuesday what is learned on Monday. Add to Wednesday what you learned on Monday and Tuesday, etc. On Friday, you can't wait to apply all the steps in the grand finale assignment. Your saddest moment is when this course ends, but then you realize you can take it with you-the rest of your life--all the wonderful tips that also automatically improve your painting not the converse!  Why paint something if it is flawed from the beginning?  Get the drawing skills in tact and see you work improve overnight.  The  accuracy , value judgement  and composition confidence will move your drawing and painting level up a notch with this one course. Give us your concentration for a few days and we'll give you acute vision and drawing skills for the rest of your life.   more
