$ 180 $ 163 Members

5 Thursdays, 1 - 3pm

Sept 18 - Oct 16

Art Studio

This class is a relaxed, beginner-friendly intro to drawing for adults. It’s all about building your confidence and skills in a supportive space. We’ll cover the basics like contour drawing, shading, perspective, and composition, with a big focus on really seeing what you're drawing.

You’ll do fun, structured exercises to improve your hand-eye coordination and get a feel for different tools and materials. Along the way, there will be plenty of guidance and low-pressure practice. By the end, you’ll have a collection of drawings that show how far you’ve come—and you’ll be ready to keep exploring more advanced art classes.
