Drawing

The very foundation for anything you want to create is drawing. In this course you will get clear, detailed instruction on how to begin and how to move forward with any subject that you would like to draw. 

Based on classic drawing principles, and then expanding into specific, accessible tools, students will learn how to really SEE and be able to express themselves with drawing. 

After teaching for over 30 years, Karen has distilled the drawing process into teachable skills. Beginning students will gain the skills and confidence they will need to draw from the very start. Those with experience will learn new ways to assess and perfect their work. They will also find new techniques to incorporate into the drawing process.
