Artists’ fine line markers are not just for careful detail work – they’re also great for quick sketches. With the addition of color – with colored pens, a few colored pencils, watercolor pencils, pastels or watercolors – you can create fresh and lively frameable art or fill a journal. Forget erasing and fixing things, just loosen up and have fun drawing (Weather permitting, this class will draw outside too). Ages 17 and up.

An atelier is an art school focused on teaching classical drawing techniques. Atelier training has been highly sought after by prospective art students in recent years because it provides students with the skills they need to create realistic artworks. In this class, students will learn foundational drawing techniques that are commonly taught in ateliers. These techniques will help students to establish accurate proportions, simplify a subject, and understand value relationships. The instructor will provide personalized feedback to help each student grow. The instructor will also recommend resources to help students continue to learn outside of class.
This class is for both beginning and intermediate drawing students. Students are considered beginners if they have not taken the Drawing Atelier class in the past. Beginning students will do master copies of Bargue plates as well as sculpture casts from life. Intermediate students will work on still-lives of their choosing.
Beginning students will be provided with drawing materials and will pay a $30 materials fee directly to the instructor. Intermediate students will bring their own from the supply list. Ages 17 and up.
