**Online Workshop**

Instructor: Erica Beade

Price: $35 members / $40 nonmembers

In this online drawing workshop, instead of focusing on a particular drawing material or subject matter, we’ll explore the core building blocks of visual art: marks and lines. Discover how using an incredible variety of marks and lines can transform your drawings by adding depth, volume, and texture, while infusing your work with depth and character. Through a range of inspiring examples, guided exercises, dedicated drawing time, and personalized feedback, you’ll build a richer, more expressive drawing tool kit. A PDF handout will be provided after class.

All skill levels are welcome.

This class is for adults. Maximum class size is 13 attendees.
