- Livestreaming classes take place via online video conference (using Zoom). The instructor conducts live demos with step-by-step instruction so that you can work together in real time. You also have the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback during class time.
- We keep class sizes small and the atmosphere is interactive and supportive.
- Finish exercises or practice at your own pace, at home, outside of class time.
- Receive individual feedback on your completed work and exchange comments and questions with the instructor and your fellow workshop participants in an encouraging environment.
- Find supplemental material and watch the progress of other participants by visiting the workshop Dropbox folder in between classes.

Online Drawing Workshops
Learning to draw is learning a new way to see. The process starts with sharpening your perception and acquiring new tools for observation. As you begin to observe more thoroughly, noticing things like negative space and tonality, your drawings take on life. As your perceptual skills are trained, not only will your drawings improve but you might start to notice new shapes and lines within your everyday environment.
The field of drawing encompasses a wide range of materials and techniques and the subject matter is infinite. Anything you can observe, or imagine, can be drawn. Some of our workshops are highly specific, such as Anatomy Drawing, focusing on a particular subject or medium with an expert artist. Other workshops are more general, providing a perfect introduction for a beginner, such as Drawing from Observation.
Whether you are interested in learning cross-hatching with ink, shading with charcoal, or just breaking loose with pastels, we have the right online drawing class for you. It is possible to join most courses from whatever level you are starting you at. If you need help selecting the perfect workshop, just get in touch.
