In Drawing Fundamentals, we break down drawing into simple shapes and build back up with form, depth, and perspective.

Intimidated by drawing just a straight line? Or maybe you're intrigued by the world around you and want to learn how to draw what you see with confidence and clarity? Join us for Drawing Fundamentals—a beginner-friendly drawing class designed to break the process down into simple, approachable steps.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to transform basic shapes into recognizable forms, add depth through shading, and understand foundational concepts like proportion, perspective, and composition. Whether you're an absolute beginner or looking to brush up on your skills, this class offers a supportive space to grow your abilities and unlock your creative potential.

Led by a skilled local instructor, Drawing Fundamentals introduces techniques used by artists to sketch everything from still lifes to scenes from everyday life.

We will provide basic drawing materials for you—but feel free to bring your own sketchbook or favorite drawing tools!
