Bev Boren
Afternoon Class Dates (12:45PM - 3:45PM): Mar 4, 11, 25 Apr 1
Drawing is a part of everything I do as an artist. In this class we will work on slowing down, seeing more deeply and developing confidence. We will practice some fundamental techniques as well as personal approaches to drawing. We will endeavor to create honest drawing by truly drawing what you see, not what you think you see. All you need are some pencils, charcoal, paper and a willingness to have fun!
I believe drawing is about attempting something beyond language and beyond representation, it is a way to experience life. It is my sincere hope these lessons will give you surety in your drawing practice… and I hope you can join me!
