Tuesday Evenings from July 7th – 28th

6:00–8:30pm

For artists wanting to understand the mysteries of a good composition. Students who already have experience drawing from life will put those skills to great use; however, this class is open to artists of all levels who are compelled by the idea of breaking artworks down into their essential components. The content of the workshop will be calibrated to your group's learning goals!

Develop an understanding of how geometry and ratios apply to the crafting of an excellent painting or drawing, taught by an academy-trained artist and teacher in a welcoming and inclusive setting. In this class we'll learn about how compositions are balanced through a variety of frameworks.

4-Class Series for $135

Or Any 3 Classes for $115

Basic materials and supplies will be provided at no additional cost to participants. This series will additionally make use of a variety of drafting tools, all of which will be available to students to use in the studio.

The studio space for this workshop is unfortunately not ADA Accessible; there is one flight of stairs up into the workshop space. (Want to take a class but need an accessible venue? Please contact me directly and we'll explore possibilities!)
