In this course, you’ll hone your skills at drawing realistically from direct observation of the world around us. We’ll draw still lifes, work with color, and tackle “challenging” subjects like hands and portraits. We’ll use graphite, charcoal, Conté, and pastel. Adults and teens ages 14+ (Tweens and preteens welcome with an adult also enrolled.)
