Still Life & Observational Drawing: Explore and Create

Join us for a relaxing session of still life and observational drawing, suitable for all skill levels. We’ll set up engaging still life arrangements and provide tea, coffee, and a variety of drawing tools to spark your creativity.

We'll begin by exploring a range of observational drawing exercises, from quick sketches to experimenting with ink, charcoal, framing techniques, and even masking tape. After a short break, we’ll settle into two longer drawing sessions, allowing you to use your preferred tools and techniques. Whether you’re new to drawing or looking to refine your skills, this class offers a welcoming space to develop your observational eye and drawing techniques.

This class is intended for adults age 16 +.
