Basic Drawing
Drawing as Seeing
To draw well, you
have to see well.
This drawing class
helps students
learn to really SEE
and render objects
as they appear,
rather than drawing from memory how we
believe they “should” look! Line, contour
and gesture drawing techniques will be
introduced, as well as negative space
observation and drawing. We will also learn
how to draw objects and spaces in three-
dimension for realistic representation on
a flat sheet of paper. This drawing class is
designed for beginners but more advanced
students can also join to hone their skills.

easy-to-learn art form
using black ink on white paper and shading
with a soft pencil. You will be amazed in
your ability to learn this meditative art form

and wonder! You will be able to combine
an infinite number of tangles in so many
imaginative ways. Take home the skills to
practice what you learn in each class. This
drawing technique is so absorbing that
many forget there are others in the room.
Dusty Darrah
is our certified Zentangle®
teacher. She says “no drawing skills
needed.” Each basic class taught here will
introduce you to 8 new/different tangles
(designs) so you can feasibly come to all of
Dusty’s classes and never repeat the same
tangles. The $10 materials fee is for a kit of
a Micron pen, soft pencil and sharpener, a
blending smudger for shading, and 3 paper
tiles.

Beginning Colored Pencil
Drawing Techniques
Bust out in a riot of color in this beginning
level drawing class. Drawing and shading
with colored pencils is not hard once you
learn some basic color theory and learn
how to “see” the rainbow of colors that can
be used to describe something as simple
as a blueberry or apple. Class will focus on
learning and implementing three colored
pencil techniques: layering, underpainting,
and burnishing. Practice each technique
and then choose a colorful photograph
to create a more elaborate drawing from.
Deb Rohr
is a lifelong artist with a long
background in drawing and painting though
she made a living as a motor sport and fine
art/portrait photographer for more than
10 years. Work from a selection of colorful
photographic images (you choose what
appeals to you), and leave with the skills to
expand into your other drawing projects.
