D41625 Saturday Drawing Studio, Saturdays, 1 - 4 p.m.

Instructor: Kevan Nitzberg
Skill level: B, AB, I

Drawing is the basis of many forms of art as well as a satisfying end in itself. Learning to observe and capture a subject on paper opens us to new ways of seeing the world, and it's a skill that can be learned by anyone. Begin or refresh your drawing practice with a new subject each week and different media to experiment with along the way. We'll work from objects and still life set-ups as well as landscape imagery and an excursion into the figure, with class discussions and individual attention to focus your artistic development. Whether you've taken this class before, or haven't drawn in a while, you'll find plenty of new ideas and inspiration! See materials list on the website.
