In four Tuesday morning workshops, you will learn the techniques of the top artists for creating lifelike drawings.  Instructor Larry Charles will show you new ways to conquer shading, proportion and scale, values, and accurate likenesses.

Each class begins with an instructor demonstration, following by personalized mentoring as you then create the same step-by-step drawing.  Landscapes, animals, still life and people will be explored.

The Holland Center will supply all the class art supplies in your registration fee. Expect to create at least two drawings per workshop session.
