"If you have longed to know the secrets of “how-to-draw”, then this class is
for you - the absolute beginner! And for those who just wish to refresh their
basic skills in the practice of sound drawing technique.

An opportunity to open a door and discover a whole new
world by virtue of expanding your artistic and creative ambitions.
One that could change your life by simply picking up a pencil
and realizing the therapeutic world of creating art. And of drawing!

The class will progress from a simple technique of putting pencil to
paper to an analytical understanding of basic structure, proportions, perspective, light, shapes and form. Feel the magic of creating “value” as your botanical
drawing slowly emerges and comes to life with depth and dimension.

So set yourself free in a way you never quite
imagined- expand your horizon and create a
lasting impression. A sure way of how to
surprise yourself and amaze your friends!"
