If you’ve ever said, “I can’t draw a straight line,” this class is for you. In Foundational Drawing Skills, you’ll learn the core principles every artist needs to draw accurately and confidently. Starting with the basics, we’ll explore proportion, composition, and the key ways to use space to create visually pleasing designs. What you’ll gain:

• Ability to accurately measure and draw proportions

• Skills to design still lifes and compositions that “read” well

• Improved accuracy in observational drawing

• Greater confidence with graphite and other drawing tools

Through a combination of demos, hands-on exercises, and encouraging feedback, you’ll build a toolbox of skills you can apply to any drawing style or subject. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to learn
