Drawing Essentials

My FAVORITE class to teach because of the visible growth of each student!

Novice students will be given a strong foundation in drawing. Students will work with pencil, charcoal, felt tip and permanent markers, while learning to use line, value, gesture, proportion and perspective. By accessing their right hemisphere students will develop an ability “to see” through a variety of subject matter.

Recommended for all regardless of your drawing abilities.

Studio Sessions;- 

For anyone who has completed Sam’s Drawing Essentials and Draw & Color classes or any member who is looking for a place to create while networking with other like minded individuals. Most of our participants work independently with their own supplies. Supplies will be available for a small cost if needed. Younger students will need prior approval by Sam. This class is a great time for sharing, critiques and camaraderie, in addition to creating some wonderful pieces of work. Some of our Studio Session artists have sold pieces and have also acquired commissions.

During D&C I students will learn to mix all their colors from the primaries starting with Tempera.
