Back To the Drawing Board (BTTDB) is an ongoing skill-building drawing class for artists and sketchy types of all levels, including beginners!

It is a four-week class that repeats quarterly. In this class, we target a specific drawing technique each quarter: the Fall session will focus on copying master figure and portrait drawings, with an overview of pencil and charcoal techniques, shading, and working with value. 

The remainder of the year, the quarterly classes will continue and include classes on landscape sketching, copying master drawings, still life drawing, and more.

In this class, you will create your own journal and learn calming art techniques to soothe your creative soul.  We will create a journal, then fill it with stress-reducing art.
