Description:  This is a course for beginners and for all those who have always wanted to learn to draw but never thought they could!  Based on the best-selling book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards, the instructor has developed a 5-week drawing class sharing basic drawing techniques that work exceedingly well for all beginning students.  Traditional drawing skills seem to be taught in most art schools; however, those processes do not always resonate with beginning students. This class has produced amazing results for over 20 years.  If you really want to learn to draw, don’t miss this offering!
