Basic Drawing

Learn to Draw Like an Artist

If you’ve always wanted to learn how to draw, this is a good place to begin.

This beginner-friendly class is designed for adults who are completely new to drawing, returning after years away, or looking to strengthen the drawing skills to support painting in watercolor, acrylic, or oil.

We start with the basics — simple lines, shapes, and everyday objects — then build into proportion, measuring, light and shadow, shading, and still life drawing.

You’ll learn how to slow down, look carefully, and draw what is actually in front of you, instead of what your brain thinks it sees.

Each week includes clear demonstrations, guided practice, and personal feedback so you can understand the basic tools artists use in every drawing.

By the end of the class, you’ll understand the basic tools artists use… and feel more confident beginning a drawing on your own.
